Essay by Julia Morton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the publisher:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his catalogue essay on Los Angeles-based figurative painter and graphic novelist Kent Williams, Edward Lucie-Smith states, \"The main thing about Williams' production, whatever form it takes, is that one feels a passionate desire to paint at work, and, in addition to that, a passionate desire to enlarge not only his own imaginative experience, but the imaginative experience of anyone who takes the trouble to give his paintings more than a glance.\" Quoting freely from influences like Rodin, Schiele, Kahlo, Fischl and Nerdrum, Williams makes dramatic, sexually terse and expressionistic paintings that are deeply riveting, dark and erotic. Female nudes, self-portraits, adolescent boys, landscapes and other nocturnal fantasies all play a role. Bringing together works from 1992 to [2007], this is the most comprehensive collection of paintings and drawings by Williams to date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allen Spiegel Fine Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52742992625962,"sku":"74251","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/2879\/4922\/files\/1FA235AE-97F4-49EA-B12F-9C0F39399ACC.jpg?v=1790379100","url":"https:\/\/stuartngbooks.com\/products\/amalgam-paintings-drawings-1992-2007-74251","provider":"Stuart Ng Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
