Description
Derek Boshier Reinventor by Helen Little is a comprehensive overview of the artist's multifaceted practice, spanning post-war period to digital age. This publication offers a nuanced exploration of Boshier's deceptively playful imagery as a commentary on societal issues and human identity. Boshier was a central figure in British Pop Art, alongside contemporaries such as Peter Blake and Pauline Boty. His work juxtaposed figurative painting with consumerist imagery to address nuclear anxieties and growing consumerism of 1960s Britain. The book also delves into Boshier's more recent works created in America, exploring themes relevant to the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter movements. The publication features commentaries by artists, academics, curators, and writers who examine how Boshier's groundbreaking work interrogates truth, logic, fantasy, and reality in the modern age.
