Item description from seller

Brown wraps, 96 pp, profuse color illustrations. From the publisher--A native of North Carolina, Bob Trotman began his artistic career over 30 years ago as a self-taught furniture maker and then gradually moved away from crafting functional objects to creating sculpture with a human presence. Trotman’s sculptures depict anonymous people who appear to be in various states of change or flux, both physically and emotionally. The figures are simultaneously humorous and disquieting. Dressed in suits and ties or ladylike dresses, they are portrayed upside down with their legs waving in the air, poised on the brink of jumping or leaping, or sinking into the floor as if it were made of quicksand. Unlike Norman Rockwell, who once said, "I paint life as I would like it to be," Trotman focuses on the darker side of real life—a life filled with uncertainty, ambiguity, precarious footholds, and shifting sands, and he does it with a deeply gratifying sense of irony and humor. Published to coincide with the exhibition Bob Trotman: Inverted Utopias at the North Carolina Museum of Art, this catalogue features full-page color photographs of Trotman’s work as well as essays by the artist, a prominent art critic, and the curator of contemporary art at the NCMA.…

Store description

Mullen Books maintains a very active computerized inventory which grows by 2-300 titles per week. Our specialties include the Humanities, with an emphasis on Art, Architecture, Photography, Decorative Arts, History, as well as Periodicals related to those areas. We have very rare as well as fairly common titles. Current inventory is approximately 79,000 titles. We have about 1000' of backlog in our specialties numbering over 30,000 items (including 20,000+ smaller and ephemeral catalogues devoted to individual artist exhibitions). Current stock occupies over 2.3 miles of shelving. We are active buyers as well as very active sellers, and supply entire reference libraries as well as individual titles. We ship books almost everywhere, with the exception of China due to restrictions. Our website mullenbooks.com maintains our entire database of over 150,000 titles dynamically, so you can submit "wants" for books which are listed, but not currently in-stock. It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.…
