| Summary |
"Illustrated with copious examples from thirty years of Rackstraw Downes work, the book makes clear why Downes is widely regarded as a "painter's painter." It show-cases many of the artist's panoramic pictures - painted with a strong sense of place and a miniaturist's sense of scale. The images, which depict industrial parks, construction sites, housing projects, refineries, razor wire, and landfills, stimulate fresh thoughts about these supposedly unattractive sights." "The three essays that accompany Downes's art provide rare insights into the way a painter thinks and works."--BOOK JACKET |
