About this title

Synopsis

The 132 illustrations in this volume convey the impact of Segal's works and chart his course as one of America's most influential sculptors. Segal gained fame in the days of Pop with his true-to-life plaster figures of lower- and middle-class Americans engaged in everyday activities. His glum waitresses, bored gas-station attendants and aimless pedestrians trapped in utilitarian environments have been mirrors held up to the face of postwar American life with its aridity and loneliness. As this book makes clear, Segal has employed his groundbreaking techniques to explore more intimate themes as well. The works pictured attest to the many dimensions of an artist who has been called 'a poet of the mundane'.
