One of America’s most inventive and imaginative painters, Dana Schutz is celebrated in a new monograph covering eight years of her fantastical works.
The self-titled book explores the artist’s vibrant palette and expressive brushwork, with which she brings imaginary self-eaters and cannibalizing characters to life in her allegorical canvases. Creepy and comical, its pages are filled with headless dogs and decomposing figures that become metaphors for the human condition and fascinating subjects for the reinvention of art.
