Items related to Richards Phillips: Early Works on Paper
The years 1993 and 1994 were bum years for Richard Phillips. Creative years too, since that was when he made the 30-odd drawings in this portfolio. With the air so cold and the heat not working and the rent going unpaid for eight months, Phillips, drawing in his kitchen, conjured one image after another: a homeless man is burned alive by a thug; a deranged blonde cuddles with a white rabbit, certain they must be sisters; a monumental god carved into a temple at Angkor Wat mirrors the face of Alice Cooper--two gods in one! Phillips' sources were discarded newspapers, but if you look behind the mottled surfaces the pictures really derive from the conflicted state of his soul. Each of these drawings is a complete work; none were intended only as studies. "They were meant to be entertaining," Phillips tells author Linda Yablonsky, "but they also pushed me to go farther and farther." Ultimately, these drawings gave Phillips the freedom to paint. What they give us is the power to see through the dark.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 1993 und 1994 waren harte Jahre für Richard Phillips. Es waren auch kreative Jahre, in dieser Zeit entstanden die mehr als dreißig in diesem Portfolio gesammelten Zeichnungen. Während die Miete acht Monate lang unbezahlt blieb, saß Phillips bei defekter Heizung in seiner bitterkalten Küche und beschwor ein Bild nach dem anderen herauf: ein Obdachloser wird von einem Strolch bei lebendigem Leib verbrannt; eine verstörte Blondine kuschelt mit einem weißen Kaninchen in der Überzeugung, es wäre ihre Schwester; eine monumentale Götterstatue in den Tempelruinen von Angkor Wat hat das Gesicht von Alice Cooper - gleich zwei Götter auf einmal! Phillips benutzte Motive aus alten Zeitungen, aber ein Blick hinter die fleckige Oberfläche der Bilder zeigt, dass sie in seiner zerrissenen Seele entstanden sind. Jede dieser Zeichnungen ist ein eigenständiges Werk, sie waren nicht als Studien gedacht. 'Ursprünglich sollten sie bloß Unterhaltung sein', verrät Phillips der Autorin Linda Yablonsky, 'aber dann fühlte ich mich getrieben, immer weiter und weiter zu gehen'. Letztendlich gaben diese Zeichnungen Phillips die Freiheit, mit der Malerei zu beginnen. Was sie uns geben ist Kraft, um im Dunkeln noch die Hoffnung zu sehen. Seller Inventory # 9783935567374
