Black cloth boards with white stamped spine lettering. Glossy black and color-illustrated dust jacket with white lettering. BW and color illustrations. "The Paintings of Ross Bleckner is the first monograph on the artist covering thirty years of his work, from 1976 to 2006. Always been interested in bringing abstract painting closer to the realities of the external world, while endeavoring to plumb the depths of the subliminal realm of the psyche. Much lauded for the work Bleckner has done for ACRIA, the American Community Research Initiative on AIDS, and as an outspoken advocate of the fight against the disease since the late 1980s, his paintings are symbolic expressions of a larger humanity, and, as such, also comprise formal as well as social values."--Jacket.
