Gerard Hemsworth: Hidden Agenda - Hardcover
British artist Gerard Hemsworth (born 1945) undermines the seriousness of high modernist art with storybook picture motifs, straddling the sublime and the ridiculous and celebrating the clash of visual rhetorics in line drawings with flat, muted colors. For Hemsworth's first solo museum show in the United States at the Aldrich, 15 works have been chosen and are reproduced in this catalogue.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Although his paintings are seemingly unproblematic, simple and innocent, upon closer examination the works of British artist Gerard Hemsworth become confrontational, disconcerting, and provocative in a slightly uncomfortable way. Hemsworth's visual language is comprised of line drawings of cartoon-like images, open spaces, and flat muted colours; representational works that have the familiarity of both modernist paintings and storybook pictures. Writers have compared Hemsworth's work to the 19th century romantic landscape painter Casper-David Friedrich, as well as to the contemporary sculptor best known for his giant reproductions of banal objects in stainless steel, Jeff Koons. The absurdity of this gulf indicates the ability of Hemsworth's paintings to straddle the sublime and the ridiculous. His paintings are both insistent and subversive, questioning the values and assumptions that the viewer brings to the work - the hidden agenda for which we cannot account. Published to accompany the exhibition at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, USA, June 2009 - January 2010. English and German text.
