Seller's Description:
Like New. Inscribed by artist Jack Beal "To Janet and Jim Hester." Hardcover and dust jacket. Light wear. Fine binding and cover. Clean, unmarked pages. "An Abstract Expressionist when he left the Art Institute of Chicago in 1956, Jack Beal has since become a dedicated realist who sees art as a potentially powerful moral force. He has great regard for Platonic ideals of truth, beauty, and goodness, and admires both the realism of seventeenth-century Dutch painting and the compositional authority of Renaissance art. Since moving to New York in the late 1950s with his wife, painter Sondra Freckelton, Beal has painted still lifes, portraits, and landscapes, although in recent years his most ambitious undertakings have been large-scale allegories and myths. In describing his approach, Beal calls himself a â‹"life painter" and says he is committed to human over aesthetic concerns. Yet his intricate complexes of figures and surface patterns, along with his adroit handling of space, reveal his sophisticated, accomplished sense of composition."-Smithsonian This is an oversized or heavy book, which requires additional postage for international delivery outside the US.
