Description
Harvey Quaytman Against the Static is a retrospective exhibition and catalogue that reconsiders the influential work of American modern artist Harvey Quaytman. The publication brings together contributions from art historians Suzanne Hudson and John Yau, alongside reflections by R.H. Quaytman, an artist and the daughter of Harvey Quaytman. The book explores Quaytman's inventive and whimsical approach to painting, marked by meticulous attention to surface texture and experimental colour application. From his radical curvilinear canvases of the late 1960s and 1970s, to his exploration of geometric abstraction in the 1980s, and finally to his serene cruciform canvases of the 1990s, this catalogue provides a comprehensive overview of Quaytman's oeuvre. Published in association with the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA), Harvey Quaytman Against the Static offers a timely reconsideration of Quaytman's place within the trajectory of American modern art.
