Simon Patterson : Black-list.
DDC classification: 709.2 General note: This work includes essay by David Campany. Published to accompany Simon Patterson's first exhibition at Haunch of Venison, "Black-List" reproduces a new series of 10 large-scale paintings using the format and aesthetic of cinema end credits to explore the politics of Cold War anti-communist blacklists. As David Campany writes: "Once the blank canvas and the black were accepted as art, every painting thereafter would be a painting on a painting. For the faint-hearted, the monochrome represents the end. The bold have seen in it new beginnings writ large. Simon Patterson is bold and writes large on his monochromes. And the writing we see here speaks of cinema. The flat blackness of the "Black-List" canvases speaks of art, of Modernism in transition between the painterly surface and the industrial surface".| Item type | Current location | Home library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
