Lower right corners lightly bumped. Dust jacket with light edgewear. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "With more than 170 sculptures, drawings, and… paintings, this is the first comprehensive view of the art of Renaissance man Arthur Carter. Successful in journalism and business, and trained as a classical pianist, Carter is an accomplished artist in the modernist tradition. His abstract sculptures allude to human gestures and interactions. Though firmly grounded, they appear on the verge of flight. Though silent, they suggest song. His lyrical drawings and rigorous paintings, often studies for sculptures, are informed by a deep familiarity with the artists he admires most: Mondrian, Kandinsky, Arp, Bracque, and Picasso. Art historian and journalist Charles A. Riley II explores Carter's work, and Peter Kaplan, editor of the New York Observer, contributes an illuminating biographical essay. Arthur Carter: Sculptures, Drawings, and Paintings presents the compelling artistic vision of a fascinating man. / Arthur Carter is an artist whose work has been exhibited in New York and Paris. He is currently chairman of the Board of Overseers of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at New York University. Charles A. Riley II is an art historian, journalist, and entrepreneur. He is the author of Color Codes; The Saints of Modern Art; The Jazz Age in France; and two art monographs from Abrams. Peter Kaplan is the editor of the New York Observer." - Publisher. Size: 4to.
