Product Description
This full-color monograph showcases Doig's first show in a public gallery dedicated solely to his paper works of the past 14 years. An artist who credits such inspirations as Hopper, Munch and Matisse, Doig re-works and re-interprets images drawn from photographs, film stills, postcards, paintings and even album covers to explore notions of memory and fantasy. Doig's haunting and atmospheric work is often compared to the early 20th-century paintings of the Symbolists and Surrealists and is seen as having revived the Romantic spirit. He was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1994 and has been featured in the 54th International Carnegie Exhibition as well as many leading museums including the MoMA, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Tate, and the Dallas Museum of Art. Exhibition Dates: Dallas Museum of Art beginning September 13, 2005 The Gallery of Windsor beginning December 4, 2005 Art Gallery of Ontario beginning March 8, 2006.

For what this book is, page after page of drawings, you cant ask for more December 1, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Doig has been gaining quite a following over the last few years. His art is exploratory and innovative in my mind. More than anything his work is about the mark and texture along with its correspondence to mood and composition. So what this book does so very well is give the viewer a full breadth of his work on paper basically over six or so years.
What I found missing that I would have enjoyed reading was a little biographical information or an interview or a critical article that explored his work in a comprehensive fashion. But I can do without. His work is something that you can go back to again and again and learn something new every time.
If you are looking for a great survey of Doig's work, you wont be disappointed by this.
