von Robert Barriault

160 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The art of Gerard Collins resists categorisation. Over a 50-year career, Collins's conceptual imagination and dizzying array of influences has produced a body of work as eclectic as it is stimulating. His oeuvre, ranging from still lifes to landscapes, from realism to neo-conceptualism, remains undeniably embedded in Saint John, while partaking in -- and pushing against -- national and international conversations about art and theory. Featuring over 75 reproductions of Collins's work, including examples from his famous Women in Hats, 100 Portraits, and Harlequin series, Gerard Collins: Fifty Years of Painting is the first book to encompass Collins's entire career, from his early training at St. Martin's School of Art and under the " NSCAD school," to his return to Saint John and pandemic-era experiments with online pop-up galleries. Robert Barriault, a contemporary of Collins at NSCAD, develops a fresh critical methodology to analyze Collins's enigmatic vocabulary, drawing connections and identifying distinctive features of Collins's massive body of work.
