This monograph is the first to collect the photographs of
internationally acclaimed multimedia artist Barry McGee. Though
best known for the inventive graphic sensibility of his paintings
and drawings, McGee's use of photography is an essential, often
underappreciated, component of his artistic vision. Captured at all
hours and around the world with whatever camera is at hand, McGee's
images are immediate, casual, intimate, and anarchic all at once.
His work boldly employs geometric shapes, clusters of framed
drawings and paintings, distinctive characters, and found objects
such as empty bottles, surfboards, and wrecked vehicles. Whether
incorporated into his iconic multi-element compositions, or printed
in the innumerable fanzines and artist's books that often accompany
his exhibitions, photographs pervade McGee's practice. Barry McGee:
Photographs provides unique insight into the process of a major
American artist, and is a testament to the immense amount of visual
information McGee has absorbed to build one of the most eclectic
and innovative artistic legacies of our time.
