The first monograph on an American abstract artist of unparalleled
subtlety. James Howell (1935-2014) was an American abstract artist
who used infinite variations of the colour grey to explore the
fundamentals of light, space, time, and [kinesthetic] perception.
He appreciated the colour's mystery, softness, simplicity, and
capaciousness. His precise, systematic methods, developed over many
years, yielded accomplished square paintings and works on paper.
Their subtle revelations - absent of illusion, narrative, and
symbolic references - expand in the viewer's consciousness. In this
comprehensive first monograph, Alistair Rider traces Howell's
artistic evolution, from the beginnings of his career in the early
1970s through the artist's greatest achievement - the group of
abstractions called Series 10, which occupied the last two decades
of his life. Rider's multi-faceted essay also chronicles Howell's
biography, including his early studies and accomplishments in
architecture, and offers several interpretive frameworks for
Howell's oeuvre, notably a connection to East Asian philosophies.
The beautifully produced book presents dozens of full-colour plates
of artworks and exhibitions, and Rider's essay is thoroughly
illustrated with archival images and documents from the James
Howell Foundation. This publication makes a critical contribution
to the reevaluation of an artist whose studies of light into shadow
have for many years been in a dynamic conversation with recognised
trends in contemporary art.
