Allen M. Hart in Retrospect, 1965-1999 - Softcover
From the Publisher:
Hart has a rich feeling for color and draughtsmanship that meld to torn paper. It's the touch of the paint against the jagged tears that creates a liberating and original line, a by-product of two disparate forces. It virtually sings. --REVIEW
Human existence is viewed as a horror-filled abyss by this gifted artist showing mixed-media drawings. His figures are seen in seemingly endless anguish- anguish they, themselves have brought on. Grotesque, disfigured, fraught with evil, they diabolically engage in a symbolic dance of death. George Grosz hovers over this work, but it is strong, disquieting and splendidly executed. - -John Gruen, THE NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE
Morbid as all get-out, these armies of Monsters, looking like a race of fetuses, often seem to be sharing jokes among themselves, probably at our expense. Drawn with great delicacy individually, they are jumbled (skillfully) into appalling masses. For strong stomachs. --John Canaday, THE NEW YORK TIMES
Bestial people tend to be naked, neckless and wrinkled. They pursue their follies and pour from watering-cans into each other's ears, make offerings of cracked eggs, ride tormented beasts, wear garden-grown headgear. In these recent paintings, Hart is more biting than in earlier drawings. His thin color stains are bright, but spine-chilling. --John Gruen, ART NEWS
High points which remain in one's memory for a long time. --B. F. Dolbin, AUFBAU
Includes an interactive CD-ROM featuring rare interviews with Hart!!!
