Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Flat-signed by Kelley on front endpage. Front cover is heavily creased, bottom corner is bumped, pages unmarked. 56 page art exhibition catalog. "Kelley's brand of success is his ability to translate the sensuous moment of discovery into an approximation on paint-covered canvas. His working method is to go out into the countryside and work up small canvases on site, along with sketches and photos, and then return to the studio with his trove for further refinement. There he may work up the smaller canvases, or use them and the photos as memory guides to get a start on larger and perhaps more complex renditions. Then the heavy lifting begins. The large canvases challenge and inspire because of the conceptual challenges the artist sets himself. The complex mesmerizing patterning and infinitude of subtle and transcendent color, which charcterize Kelley's finest, paintings - that shout for pure joy - are actually the result of hard concerted work.
