About This Item
New York: Marlborough Contemporary, 2017. 1st edition, limited 1200. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. R.B. Kitaj. 1st edition, limited to 1,200 copies, 2017. Near Fine. Folio, 83 pp., with full color images. Bound in publishers cream cloth with full color illustrated dust jacket band. One small bump on front board top, otherwise clean and unmarked. Among the most significant post-war painters whose work and writings helped to define the School of London, R.B. Kitaj produced complex, boldly expressive compositions dense with references to art, literature, and, most significantly, Judaism. As he explained: "The Jewish question, in its infinity, is the central drama and romance of my life and art." Drawing enduring inspiration from the works of Paul Cézanne, one of his favorite artists, as well as intellectuals like Hannah Arendt and Walter Benjamin, Kitaj approached art-making with a combination of formal and conceptual rigor. His ambitious paintings and prints are precisely composed and resolutely, though loosely, figurative.
