This book presents a comprehensive view of the work of American
painter Philip Taaffe (b.1955), who has expanded the parameters of
painting through his use of silkscreen, linocuts, collage,
stencils, gouache, chine-colle, marbling, acrylic, enamel,
watercolour and gold leaf. Possessing many technical skills, Taaffe
has moved decisively between unique pictorial inventions and
appropriations, as well as overlaying divergent modes of
representation, through cultural patterns found in ornament, and
biomorphic abstraction. John Yau's insightful text is the first to
look at every part of Taaffe's artistic development, from the works
he made at Cooper Union while a student of Hans Haacke, to the
present. It pays special attention to Taaffe's acquisition of
different techniques, as well as investigating his various sources
of inspiration, which include the work of experimental filmmakers
Stan Brakhage, Bruce Conner and Harry Smith, the Natural History
illustrations of Ernst Haeckel, and the ancient art of paper
marbling.
