Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Clive Head is the leading figurative painter of his generation working in Britain today. In this introduction to his recent work Michael Paraskos discusses the various influences on Head as a painter, ranging from Titian to Matisse. He argues that Head's ambition to create paintings that exist as an alternative reality to our own plunges the viewer into a parallel universe every bit as strange and exciting as that dreamed up by Lewis Carroll. In doing so, Paraskos suggests, Head has enabled painting to follow the other arts in finally grasping the full implications of the concept of mise en abyme, theorised by the influential French critic Roland Barthes, while still producing images that are deeply compelling.…

Clive Head (b. 1965) is the leading British realist painter of his generation, known for his striking paintings of urban landscapes. He has achieved a worldwide reputation and his work is held in private and public collections internationally. Although there is a clear link between Head's work and the traditions of American Photorealism, the paintings extend that tradition by drawing on a European history of art, with the result that Head's work is as much a descendant of Canaletto, Constable and Ginner as Estes, Bectel and Goings. In his working method, Head seeks to embody a strong sense of place, not simply as a record of the look of a place, but as the expression of a place by a particular person. This is the first full-length monograph on his work and sets out to introduce it to a wider audience. It incorporates a short history of Clive Head's work to date, examining a number of his paintings in detail in order to illuminate his working processes. Michael Paraskos argues that Head's paintings, in their depiction of multiple viewpoints, have parallels with Cubism, although unlike the Cubists Head seeks to unify multiple viewpoints into a coherent scene, so that the shattering effect disappears. This places Head at the forefront of contemporary aesthetic theory and practice as he seeks to reinvent realist painting for the twenty-first century. The book is illustrated with 100 large-format images, which will help to establish Clive Head as a leading figure in contemporary painting.
