Book Review: A Joe Coleman Catalogue Raissone - At Last
Summary: 5 Stars
A number of fine books on Joe Coleman's work exist, but none offer the scope, detail and production quality of "The Book of Joe." Joe's work has long merited a volume that not only reproduces nearly every painting he's produced, but offers readers highly-magnified details of the paintings. Even for those lucky enough to view his work firsthand (you pretty much have to know someone - the work is rarely exhibited publicly, and still more rarely can you see more than one painting at a time), these details elude the naked eye.
In addition to previously unpublished work, The Book of Joe is also a tour through the painter's life, loves, friends, performances and, of course, the infamous Odditorium.
This is an important book about an important painter. And it's as deep into Joe Coleman's mind as anyone's likely to get.
Summary of The Book of Joe: The Art of Joe Coleman
Visionary apocalyptic painter Joe Coleman explores in excruciating detail his fascination with the junctions between saint and sinner, sacred and profane, holy and horrifying, as shown in this book's full-color plates. Using a single-hair brush and jeweler's magnifying lenses, Coleman packs his canvases with hallucinatory detail. Legendary in the world of lowbrow art, his work shows the technical skill of Robert Williams and the subject matter of a serial killer's dreams: terrifying and beautiful at once.General Books
