Synopsis

Artist Janet Fish is well known for her richly executed oil paintings and watercolors of glass, fruit, and flowers, through which she "captures the beauty of everyday objects." The true subject of her paintings, however, is the movement of light and color from one object to the other, and critics have continually praised her art, labeling it "beyond realism." The only previous monograph on her paintings, long out of print, is today a collector's item. Now, Abrams is proud to present this new and completely up-to-date survey of her work.
The introduction gives way to page after page of Janet Fish's beautiful and engaging paintings, filled with life and light, color and fascinating detail. In all, more than 100 works are reproduced in full color, including gorgeously outsize details and four gatefolds. An illustrated chronology as well as selected exhibition history and bibliography round out the book.

About this title

Synopsis:

Janet Fish is well-known for her richly executed oil paintings and watercolors of glass objects, fruit, and flowers, through which she "captures the beauty of everyday objects." The true subject of her paintings, however, is the movement of light and color from one object to another, and critics have praised her technique, labeling her art "beyond realism." Her work appears in the collections of many major museums. A previous monograph on her paintings from the 1980s is now a collector's item offered for hundreds of dollars. This new book, published in collaboration with the artist and her gallery, will provide the first affordable overview of the artist's work in some time.
