Product Description
From Library Journal
This first monograph on Kitaj is the result of a decade of personal contact and correspondence between the artist and authora cooperative endeavor in which the artist was actively involved in the design and content, writing prefaces to a number of works discussed. The changing aspects of the modern world are reflected in the artist's attempt to re-invent himself, frequently identifying with artists and writers whose works have caught his imagination. Kitaj seeks to incorporate all forms of experience, intellectual, emotional, sensual, into his work as points of access, but these are frequently obscured by the private, esoteric nature of his creativity. A valuable insight into the intimate circumstances of an artist's life and the complex, enigmatic qualities of his work, this is a stimulating addition to the literature of 20th-century art. Paula Frosch, Metropolitan Museum of Art Lib., New York

Excellent exhibition catalog, Sep 12 2010
By D Smyth - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: R.B.Kitaj (Paperback)
This is an excellent catalog of an exhibition sponsored by the Tate Gallery in 1994. There are about 115 full-page color reproductions of good quality, interspersed with commentary on selected pieces by the artist. An interesting, satisfying overview of a contemporary artist who's apparently had his ups and downs with the critics.
