Born in Sacramento in 1939, the artist Richard Jackson was one of the leading figures in the Californian art scene in the 1970s and 1980s. Influenced by abstract expressionism and action painting, Jackson developed a combination of painting and action that, much like documentation, exposes the physical effort and time spent in creating a work of art.
During his early years, Jackson focused a spotlight on his artistic practice, which he regarded less as a mythical, inspired creative process than a hands-on production of a work of art: assembling the stretcher, attaching the canvas to the frame, applying the paint.
Later in his career, Jackson delegated the painting process to complex machines that he used as protagonists or props in his works. This book introduces a selection of his installations entitled Rooms, which feature cartoonlike figures - often dogs or ducks with human traits or plastic figures resembling Playmobil toys - spouting paint from their mouths or genitals. Significantly, Jackson does not involve spectators in the installation, but presents them with the final 'painting' like a sort of oversized tableau.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Der 1939 in Sacramento geborene Künstler Richard Jackson ist eine der Hauptfiguren der kalifornischen Kunstszene der 1970er- und 1980er-Jahre. Beeinflusst von Abstraktem Expressionismus und Action Painting, entwickelte Jackson eine Kombination aus Malerei und Aktion, die - ähnlich einer Dokumentation - den physischen und zeitlichen Aufwand eines Kunstwerks offenlegt.Bereits in seinen frühen Arbeiten und Installationen rückte Jackson seine Tätigkeit als Künstler in den Vordergrund, bei der es nicht um den mythischen, genialischen Schaffensprozess ging, sondern um die konkrete Herstellung eines Kunstwerks: Keilrahmen bauen, eine Leinwand darüber spannen, Farbe auftragen.Später delegierte Jackson, der ausgebildeter Ingenieur ist, den Malprozess an komplexe Maschinen, die er als Protagonisten und Requisiten für seine Arbeiten einsetzte. Das Buch stellt eine Auswahl dieser als Rooms bezeichneten Installationen vor, in denen comicartige Gestalten - oft Hunde und Enten mit menschlichen Zügen oder playmobilartige Plastikfiguren - aus ihren Mündern und Geschlechtsteilen Farbe verspritzen. Dabei ist der Betrachter nicht Teil des Geschehens, sondern bekommt von Jackson ausschließlich das fertige 'Gemälde' wie eine Art überdimensionales Tableau präsentiert.
