Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. Almost 16 inches tall and 12 inches wide and jacketed in a 53 x 37-inch foldout poster of Jim Shaw's deeply disturbing black-and-white oil painting of Ronald Reagan's distorted face (layered with smaller, ghostlike figures of American violence like Charles Manson and Rambo), this darkly riveting limited-edition artist's book contains works from five series of portraits made over the course of the artist's four-decade-long career: the 'Distorted Faces' drawings (1978-85) and paintings (1986-2007); the 'Noir' portraits of 1978; the sketches for Shaw's 'Giant Face' paintings (1992) and other assorted faces from 1993-2006. The format and print quality of this one-of-a-kind publication truly allow Shaw's legendary graphic abilities to shine--particularly in the hyperreal 'Distorted Faces' series. According to Alison M. Gingeras' catalogue essay, 'The jingle-like language of Pop has been transformed into rambling, run-on sentences that describe fragmented ideas, associative thoughts and schizophrenic images. Too strange, too perverse, too lurid, too precise: Shaw is an elusive character that defies categorization.' Edited by Marc Blondeau, Lionel Bovier, Philippe Davet. Text by Alison M. Gingeras.

Paperback. Condition: Fine. 1st. [94] pages, chiefly illustrations (some colour); 40 cm. Published on the occasion of the exhibition 'Distorted Faces & Portraits, 1978-2007' at BFAS Blondeau Fine Art Services, Geneva, from May 24 to July 14, 2007. Firm binding, clean inside copy. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by arrangement. Richly illustrated with colour plates. "Dedicated to different types of portraits realized by the American artist between the end of the 1970s and today, this publication is presented as a large-format album, with a dust jacket-cum-poster. The format, layout, and mode of printing underlines the graphic talent of the artist, while the gathering of the works juxtaposes the famous "Distorted Faces" series with the hyperreal portraits, symbolic depictions, such as that of Ronald Reagan whose face is literally haunted by figures from the American culture of violence (Charles Manson, Rambo, etc.), and Hollywood subjects." - Publisher. CONTENTS: Distorted faces series: paintings (1986-2007); Noir portraits series (1978); Distorted faces series: works on paper (1978-1985); Sketches for giant face paintings (1992); Other portraits & faces (1993-2006). Size: Folio.
