Over the course of the past 40 years, painter John Wesley has
created a remarkably singular body of work whose subject is no less
than the American psyche. While many artists of his generation have
used popular images to explore the cultural landscape, Wesley has
employed comic strip style and compositional rigor to make deeply
personal, often hermetic paintings that strike at the core of our
most primal fears, joys and desires. In this first volume ever to
collect the entire iconic Bumstead series, which spans from 1974
until the present, we are introduced to several paintings that have
never been reproduced before. These are dark and erotic works, sly
and witty without ever giving too much away. Linda Norden described
them thus in Parkett 62: "The Bumstead paintings--whether detailing
scenes of domestic misunderstanding, zooming in on off-camera
moments of bafflement or simply scanning empty halls and walls for
private memories--are excruciatingly specific representations of
the gulfs between feeling and comprehension... smart, funny,
startling, irreverently empathetic and often heartbreaking, they
are a welcome antidote to more laborious discourse." With an
insightful new essay by Robert Hobbs.
