Description
Cecily Brown: Themes and Variations explores three decades of the British painter's career, showcasing her vibrant and dynamic style. Through paintings and drawings, Cecily Brown reinterprets historical precedents and contemporary references, creating lush and expressive works that often incorporate erotic content. The book delves into Brown's practice, investigating the recurring themes in her work and examining her art from a feminist perspective. By reclaiming gestural expression, Brown subverts traditional notions of art history, producing paintings that are both radical and deeply personal. This comprehensive volume is distributed for the Barnes Foundation Exhibition Schedule, featuring works by Cecily Brown at the Dallas Museum of Art and the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia.
