Summary of Dead Children Playing: A Picture Book (Radiohead)
A haunting collection of Radiohead artwork from the Grammy award-winning artist."I end up spending my entire autumn and winter in a barn in the Oxfordshire countryside, painting with these seven colours, painting words onto canvases that are a metre and a half square. Part of what I'm trying to do is treat the canvas as "real estate"; I map out a district of a city and then infill with coloured blocks and words. I start with the Pacific coast, and then map the inland area of Los Angeles... in a sort of homage to the War on Terror I start finding maps of other cities on the internet; Grozny, Kabul, London, Baghdad... I'm finding it all quite intense. I have to force myself to remember to breathe, and the repetitive aspect of using only seven colours is affecting everything I see. Tree=green. House=red. Sky=blue. Or black. Or green..."-Stanley Donwood from Dead Children Playing
Stanley Donwood and the persistently enigmatic Dr Tchock are the elusive duo responsible for Radiohead's artwork. Containing almost all the paintings they have produced in the last decade, this book also contains a cornucopia of never-before-seen artwork. From the startling irruption of memory into the present in the Kid A paintings, to the overwhelming information overload of Hail to the Thief's landscapes of conflict, Dead Children Playing presents some of the most iconic artwork of our time.
