Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Thomas Chimes (b. 1921) is one of Philadelphias most important living artists. Tracing the stylistic evolution of Chimess idiosyncratic art, this handsome book presents a longoverdue survey of his remarkable fivedecade career: canvases combining landscape imagery with symbols such as crucifixes (late 1950s60s); mixedmedia constructions set within finely crafted metal boxes (late 1960searly 1970s); his bestknown works, a series of 48 intimate sepiatoned panel portraits of 19th and 20thcentury writers and artists that are placed within oversized wood frames (197378); and the enigmaticwhite paintings of the past two decades.The book reveals how Chimes has found inspiration in the writings of Antonin Artaud, James Joyce, and especially Alfred Jarry, the iconoclastic playwright and novelist whose invented Pataphysicsthe science of imaginary solutionshas provided the artist with a seemingly inexhaustible font of imagery. Taylor explores the links between Chimess work and that of contemporaries such as Gerhard Richter, Cy Twombly, and Nancy Spero, as well as important predecessors like Vincent van Gogh, Marcel Duchamp, and fellow Philadelphian Thomas Eakins.Published in association with the Philadelphia Museum of ArtExhibition Schedule:Philadelphia Museum of Art (February 27 May 6, 2007)
