About This Item
New York: Abbeville Press; Modern Masters Ser., vol. 5, 1983. 128 pages, illustrations (some colour), portraits (some colour); 29 cm. Withdrawn from library collection, with usual markings, otherwise very good. No writing in text. Another copy available. Segal is famous for his life-size plaster casts of people that are set within "environments" such as bedrooms, at gas stations, or seated on a bus, standing next to pedestrian crossing lights or vending machines. Because his works typically incorporate elements of everydayness and readymade objects of consumer culture, he was often grouped with the Pop artists of the sixties, although there is an existential aspect to his art that has more in common with the mood of certain Depression-era paintings by Edward Hopper. This is a useful, introductory survey of his work. Well illustrated. S. Paperback. Good. 4to.
