BOOK CONDITION: Fine; a solid, tight, clean copy in a Fine dust jacket. Preface by Jean Louis Ferrier. The seventh of eight children of a Lebanese family who emigrated to the USA John Kacere was born on June 23 1920 in Walker Iowa The son of a grocer he was drawn to painting very early on and studied at the University of Iowa at the same time as Paul Brach.Like his friend he became a teacher. When his first major exhibition took place in 1954 at the Zabriskie gallery in New York this admirer of Byzantine icons joined abstract expressionism. He chooses a subject that is close to his heart the woman and her little underwear which he will never stop to paint to repeat like an incantation. The appearance of hyperrealism in the United States earned him fame. His success is undoubtedly based on large part on the eroticism that we lend to s his works but which does not make us forget for the true amateurs of Kacere painting a refined work a jubilation to render the satin the texture of the skin the modeling of the drapes the subtleties transparencies.
