Summary |
"Unrepentant Ego: The Self-Portraits of Lucas Samaras, which accompanies the Whitney Museum of American Art exhibition of the same title, follows the development of Samaras's self-portrait leitmotif, from the late 1950s to the present. With an extended chronology by Whitney curator Marla Prather that traces the influences and artistic trajectory of Samaras's life: an essay by Donald Kuspil that provides an in-depth analysis of Samaras's self-portraiture a full-color plate section; and an extensive bibliography and index, this volume is an essential guide to the life and work of an exceptionally challenging and complex artist."--BOOK JACKET |
