Bob Thompson
New York and Berkeley, CA Whitney Museum of American Art; University of California Press 1998 0874271150 / 9780874271157 First paperback edition Soft Cover NEW Exhibition Catalogue
200 pp., illus. (some col.), bib. notes; 29 cm. Exhibition held at the Whitney Museum of American Art, September 25, 1998-January 3, 1999. "196 illustrations, including 126 in full color." BRAND NEW. Shrinkwrapped. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. "Bob Thompson (1937-1966) was a figurative expressionist painter active in literary, musical, and artistic circles in New York and Europe from the late 1950s until his death in 1966. In the first book devoted solely to Thompson, the life and work of this pivotal figure in modern American art history and African American culture receive the attention they deserve. Judith Wilson situates Bob Thompson within the context of both contemporary artistic production and cultural trends of the fifties and sixties. She uses interviews, Thompson's diary entries and letters to his family, and his work to give a thoughtful and thorough interpretation of his art and persona. She traces Thompson's development--psychologically, socially, and artistically--effectively portraying his first encounters with art and bohemian culture and his intensely active period in Europe shortly before his death in Rome at the age of 29. Bob Thompson's life intersects several important currents in recent American culture, and his work reveals an unfinished quest for communal identity, says Wilson. His use of postmodern techniques of appropriation and pastiche embraced both the Western tradition and cultural resources specific to the African American experience. The publication of Bob Thompson recognizes the important role of the artist in the vanguard of twentieth-century American art. / Thelma Golden is curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art and was the organizer of the exhibition Bob Thompson. Judith Wilson is Assistant Professor of History of Art at Yale University and was also an advisor to the Thompson exhibition." - Publisher.

Bob Thompson
New York and Berkeley, CA Whitney Museum of American Art; University of California Press 1998 0520212592 / 9780520212596 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Fine Exhibition Catalogue
Red cloth, 200 pp., illus. (some col.); 30 cm. "196 illustrations, including 126 in full color." Firm binding, clean inside copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. This retrospective exhibition rescucitated the career of African-American painter, Bob Thompson, whose figurative expressionist paintings were frequently seen in the sixties. Thompson died young, at 29, in 1966. A participator in the happenings, he is depicted here as a black member of the Beat generation; this book reproduces portraits of Allen Ginsberg and LeRoi Jones. His mythical figurative paintings, painted in an expressionist mode with bold colours, seem overwrought and were an anomaly during the "cool" decade of Minimalism and Pop art. This is the definitive work on this interesting artist. Collectible.
