Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Elizabeth Murray has radically altered the structure of modernist painting. Her shaped and constructed canvases, often topologically modeled in three dimensions or fitted together out of multiple jigsaw-like parts, treat figure and ground in unprecedented ways, giving the elastic shapes of classic Surrealism a space in their own image. The alternatively comfortable and cataclysmic world that her images depict would crack irrevocably if it followed Euclidean logic; instead; it constantly metamorphoses under stress. With a chaptered essay by Robert Storr, plate section, and in-depth interview, the book will explore Murray's relation to artists such as Joan MirA, Stuart Davis, Claes Oldenburg, and Frank Stella, as well as to the mainstream and opened up options for rising generations. This book accompanies the most detailed examination of Murray's art yet mounted, showing its development from Pop-oriented reliefs in the 1960s to the extraordinary volumetric of her recent work.

Rated by buyers -
The late Elizabeth Murray was a groundbreaking artist. Using the visual material of everyday life and experience, she crafted ever more ambitious paintings that leapt of the wall and into the viewers life. Art historian, curator, and painter Robert Storr is a long time champion of Murray's work, and he has lovingly assembled this comprehensive examination of her work on the occassion of her Museum of Modern Art survey exhibition. Often cited as making use of "the domestic," (as if we don't all live somewhere regardless of gender) Murray is shown in this lush and fully illustrated book to have been one of the 20th century's major artists.
