Hardback or Cased Book. Condition: New. Victor Man: The Absence That We Are. Book.

Hardback. Condition: New. Victor Man is one of the most quietly commanding painters working today. His profound, enigmatic canvases occupy a singular place at the intersection of the spiritual and the material, the living and the dead. Victor Man's paintings reveal varied, nonlinear references to literature, art, and poetry that transform essential elements of the human experience into visionary manifestations of color and form. The works collected in The Absence That We Are depict subjects imbued with a kind of sotto voce tonality. These compositions engender a complex, layered encounter, whose figures occupy and move through the transience of human life. In these paintings, Man positions mortality as an inherent presence within and successor to life-a process intimately linking the human realm with its natural, spiritual, and animal counterparts. His work carries a contemporary immediacy and primeval beauty, and is similarly marked by a nuanced intermingling of mourning and wonder, myth and earthly life. Ultimately, with their delicate, poetic treatment, Man's paintings mediate between a sense of history and the experience of the world. This volume is produced on the occasion of the artist's first exhibition with David Zwirner, in London, Victor Man: The Absence That We Are. David Zwirner's foreword to the volume highlights his personal interest in Man's work. This catalogue also features an English translation of a traditional Romanian funerary chant recorded by the composer and ethnomusicologist Constantin Brailoiu; newly commissioned poetry by the Swedish artist Karl Holmqvist; and poetry by the Austrian poet Georg Trakl.…
