About This Item
Chicago Books, 1986. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Oblong folio, cream canvas; issued without a dust jacket
Art critic Franz Schulze included Golub among a collection of artists he named the "Monster Roster" for their use of "gruesome, expressive figuration, fantasy and mythology, and existential thought." And that art had to show a connection to the real world to be relevant to a viewer or to society. Monster Roster was a precursor to the Chicago Imagists. After a period of portrayals of politicians, dictators, and religious figures, Golub's work, as here, showed themes of violent aggression, racial inequality. He was called by one critic, "a painter of darkness". Laid in are two color photographs of Golub at work, and resting. Note: Golub was the leader of Monster Roster. The first full-scale museum exhibition of it was in Chicago in 2016.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
