Barkley L. Hendricks. solid!

A comprehensive monograph which traces the artist’s evolution for the entirety of his career, published by Skira and Jack Shainman Gallery.
From revolutionizing portraiture to redefining the nude, Barkley L. Hendricks (1945-2017) is rightly known among the foremost American figurative painters of the late 20th century. Yet his six-decade artistic oeuvre encompasses not only largescale canvases of distinctively dressed (or undressed) individuals, but also includes evocative landscapes, hard-edged geometric abstractions, lush watercolors on paper and singular photographs informed by his studies with Walker Evans.
