Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Chicano, regionalist, pop artist, American, Latin American -- these and other labels pertain to Luis Jimenez, but his sculpture, drawings, and prints transcend all of them. After almost three decades of national visibility in the art world and numerous public commisions that have created awareness of his work in many communities around the country, this bilingual retrospective look at his career recgnizes Jimenez as a major artist.
The vitality, power, and bright, garish colors of Jimenez's sculptures have attracted cultural controversy everywhere. His work is rife with taboos: he expresses strong feelings that postmodern audiences can easily read as sentimental or macho, glorifying dancing, drinking, fighting, and working. Dave Hickey has called it 'Go-For-Boroque, Kitchen-Sink, The-Whole-Damn-Enchilada Art.'
Amazon.com Review:
With the age of digital imagery upon us, and some doubt of the veracity of the pictorial 'report from the front' in the future, Max Kozloff offers essays that 'will testify to what was once at stake in our engagement with photographic culture.' It is evident that much is at stake in these perceptive, eye-opening studies that endeavor to unravel the mysteries of photography. Kozloff scrutinizes the interpretation of portraiture in depth, analyzing the relationship between the photographer and the subject and trying to delineate what we can and cannot learn from their images.
