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 \u003ci\u003eBumstead\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eParkett\u003c\/i\u003e 62: \"The \u003ci\u003eBumstead\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"John Wesley | John Wesley | Paperback | 9780195028102 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks H 1769037","offer_id":49517867139224,"sku":"1769037","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51jpCmS1s0L.jpg?v=1784618764","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/john-wesley","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
