Robert Kipniss

by Richard Boyle

"Robert Kipniss: Paintings 1950-2005 presents the first comprehensive investigation of the artist's painting, from the distinctive and original style found in his earliest works, to those of the 1970s and 1980s when he was consolidating and refining his visual vocabulary, to the recent achievements of a mature artist. Texts by E. John Bullard, Richard J. Boyle, and Kipniss himself introduce us to an artist with an intensely independent vision and methodology, as well as to his process and inspirations, and the profound impact his art has on viewers." "This volume is a companion publication to Robert Kipniss: Intaglios 1982-2004 (Hudson Hills Press, 2004)."--Jacket.
