Witty  subtle  and informed  shaped by art history and prodded by Surrealism  his work pulls and pushes the mind beyond the mere acknowledgement of his dexterity and precision. This publication is the first to cover the complete range of Magees oeuvre  including his paintings  sculptures and graphic works. Within are almost 200 color plates of the artists realist paintings  monotypes  and sculptural assemblages  plus an insightful biographical essay by Pulitzer Prize-recipient Jonathan Weiner  and an in-depth conversation between Magee and American Book Award-recipient Barry Lopez. Lopez and Magee discuss a wide range of subjects pertinent to the culture at large  including the role of literature and art in politics  the nature of work  the education of an artist  and the human quest for spiritual understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651855245365,"sku":"ByrdShop_0967582660","price":66.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780967582665.jpg?v=1781842295","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/alan-magee-paintings-sculpture-graphics-9780967582665","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
