Design guru and art collector Todd Oldham shines the spotlight on the clever and warped world of artist Wayne White. From Wayne's early days as a production designer and puppet maker for the iconic TV show Pee-wee's Playhouse to his unmistakable and exquisitely rendered text paintings, this monograph is a comprehensive view of Wayne White's oeuvre. Wayne is a unique wordsmith, brilliantly juxtaposing irreverent and humorous phrases over existing thrift store paintings that together create a completely original and fictional landscape. Influenced by both his upbringing in rural Tennessee and a very sophisticated knowledge of art history, Wayne White's sensibility is completely singular and distinctive. Wayne White's warped and perspectival words integrate into seemingly benign pastoral landscapes, creating a completely surreal experience. Wayne's expert painting chops and detailed attention to lighting and reflection place the "new" text directly in its "original" setting. Text paintings such as "Donald Judd was a Son of a Bitch Wrecked His Train in a Whorehouse Ditch," "Poon," and "Maybe Now I'll Get the Respect I So Richly Deserve," are a welcome departure from the more-often-than-not self-aggrandizing art world.

Pages pristine and intact. SIGNED by Wayne White in black pen on title page: "To Kenny, Wayne White, 9/25/09." Replete with many color illustrations of the artist's work. Principally illustrations with brief or no captions. Unpaginated, 383 pp., including illustrations and Index. Comprehensive catalog featuring artwork by Wayne White (b. 1957), an American painter, cartoonist, illustrator, and puppet and set designer. White has had an eclectic career spanning puppet and set design on _Pee-wee's Playhouse_, painting, sculpture, and illustration. White is perhaps best-known for his paintings that incorporate ready-made landscape paintings or lithographs sourced from thrift stores and his own 3D lettering he meticulously paints to become part of the original painting or print. The words or phrases in these paintings range between the witty, the surreal, and the irreverent. White's lettering often provides a comedic foil to the serene, picturesque artworks they are painted upon. This catalog also includes an interview with White. Heavy and oversized items may require additional shipping. Seller Inventory # 02269
