Synopsis
High quality images selected from the the US-based Nigerian artist' sketch books dating from 1963 to the present.
This book is a critical study of the drawings of influential Nigerian artist and poet Obiora Udechukwu. It argues, quite compellingly, that the radical fusion of lyrical formalism and socio-political critique in Udechukwu’s drawings is a direct outcome of his lifelong commitment to the graphic, pictorial and rhetorical properties of line. From drawings of war and famine he made as a young man in Biafra during the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970) to the sophisticated abstract compositions of the past two decades, Udechukwu has systematically eliminated the boundaries between image and text, literary and visual poetry, and the results are drawings of tremendous lyrical power. Featuring more than 500 drawings, many in color, this beautifully designed book provides an unprecedented account of drawing as an ideational tool and powerful vehicle for the expression of an artistic-poetic imagination. Authored by an award-winning, internationally recognized art historian and critic, this book is a fitting homage to the originality of Udechukwu’s drawings and illustrious career.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. With more than 600 images, this is primarily an art book, with priority given to the reproduction of high quality images selected from the artist's sketch books dating from 1963 to the present. Even so, the book includes contextual essays and interviews with the artist by the author, as well as a timeline and comprehensive bibliography of the artist. Udechukwu, who in 1976 was described by the scholar Pat Oyelola as "master of the sensitive line," is best known for his development of a style of drawing and painting inspired by Igbo Uli body drawing and mural, following the experiments of his teacher Uche Okeke (1933-2016) in the early 1960s. But Udechukwu's incomparable draughtsmanship and pictorial design sensibility led to him to develop drawings and paintings that not only influenced generations of artists associated with the Nsukka School in Nigeria, but also secured his place as one of the most consequential Nigerian artists of the 20th century. Obiora Udechukwu (b. 1946), along with Uche Okeke and El Anatsui were for many years the leading figures of the Nsukka School of artists based at the University of Nigeria With more than 600 images, this is primarily an art book, with priority given to the reproduction of high quality images selected from the artists sketch books dating from 1963 to the present.
