From the publisher:
James Croak, one of
America's most original artists, has produced an astonishing and
idiosyncratic body of work during the past twenty years. Using a
variety of innovative materials and techniques, including taxidermy,
latex rubber, tar, and his trademark cast dirt, he has merged traditional
allegiance to exacting craftsmanship with a late-twentieth-century
sensibility, creating sculpture of presence and feeling. With more
than 100 illustrations documenting the artist's development over
the past two decades, the book follows his experiments with Minimalism
- an approach that he revisited with his Window series - his examinations
of American society in New Skins for the Coming Monstrosities, and
the art of the figure that chiefly holds his attention today. |
