But within a few years, Poons first loosened the hard-edged precision of the dot paintings and then abandoned them entirely for an organic mode of abstraction based on vertical drips of flung paint. This marked the beginning of an uncompromising five-decade evolution that has finally led the artist back to a more intimate mode of painting with brushes--and his own hands. At every stage, Poons's career has compelled the attention of critics and, in particular, other artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis handsome volume, the first full-length biocritical monograph on Poons, reproduces almost 300 of his most important works in full color, some as spectacular gatefolds. The incisive text--a collaboration between four leading critics and historians--traces the development of the artist's extraordinary career. \u003cem\u003eLarry Poons\u003c\/em\u003e is a necessary addition to the library of anyone with an interest in American art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abbeville Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780789213419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 474","brand":"Michael Fried","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42783720964277,"sku":"9780789213419","price":127.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_80ce6ba2-0e00-4f5e-88ac-30af334b1a25.jpg?v=1680014784","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/larry-poons-9780789213419","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
