Synopsis
Charming scenes of an evolving household across 40 years from a virtuoso of the everyday and the personal
For more than 40 years, UK-based artist Anita Klein (born 1960) has produced thousands of paintings, prints and drawings depicting her immediate family―husband, daughters, grandchildren and herself―going about the ordinary activities of daily life.
This book compiles around 500 of the artist’s best-loved prints going back to her student days. It presents a charming chronology of the family’s day-to-day life through the decades, seen from the artist-mother’s perspective, as they grow and change in their roles within the household. One can also follow Klein’s development as a printmaker through that time, from the simple monochrome drypoints in the 1980s, a consequence of the practical and financial demands of being a young parent, through to the more colorful and elaborate prints of more recent years. The book includes short commentaries from the artist about the work and her memories of the occasions depicted.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. Many of Anita Klein's early prints from the 1980s are monochromatic, using simple drypoint or linocut techniques, and while more complex, larger and highly coloured compositions are typical of recent pieces, her clarity of line and the subject matter of everyday activities and family relationships have remained consistent. This comprehensive volume, published to coincide with a 2022 retrospective exhibition, reproduces over 500 of her works. Seller Inventory # 545896

Anita Klein: Out of the Ordinary (Hardcover)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Anita Klein is an artist of the everyday and the personal. For more than forty years, she has produced thousands of paintings, prints, and drawings depicting her immediate family - husband, daughters, grandchildren, and herself - going about the very ordinary activities of daily life: watching television, cooking, reading, driving to school, soaking in the bath, getting dressed, cleaning the house, choosing a pet, going on holiday, or just cuddling up and sharing tender moments with loved ones. She captures these seemingly unremarkable domestic scenes with such humour, sensitivity, and beauty to create an intimate visual journal with which everyone can identify. Influenced by Italian Renaissance fresco painting, her direct style pares down forms into strong and simple shapes, transforming the images into contemporary secular icons that reveal a joyful and unselfconscious delight in the common 'dailiness of life'. Witty, charismatic, warm, and poignant, Klein's pictures depict a specific family, but her diaristic archive of life's small and familiar moments tells a universal story.This book is a selection of five hundred and fifty of Klein's best-loved prints. It presents a charming chronological record of the family's day-to-day life through the decades, seen from the artist-mother's perspective, as they grow and change in their respective roles within the household. We can also follow her development as a printmaker, from the simple monochrome drypoints in the 1980s, a consequence of the practical and financial demands of being a young stay-at-home mum, through to the more colourful and elaborate prints of recent years.A personal appreciation of Anita Klein's work by acclaimed poet Hollie McNish opens the volume, while texts by Rebecca and Vincent Eames, who have collaborated with the artist for more than two decades, and critic Mel Gooding provide an introduction to her practice. Klein herself gives recollection and further detail with short commentaries on the images and the occasions that they depict, and poems contributed by Dame Carol Ann Duffy, Hollie McNish, and Wendy Cope complete this delightful publication. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781908970589
