In this volume  the first in an occasional series of monographs  the Museum of Fine Arts  Boston  confronts the specific vision of a contemporary artist  publishing reproductions of artwork chosen by that artist alongside his own pieces. The celebrated young figurative painter John Currin has here selected some 30 works of portraiture  ancient to modern  from the MFAs permanent collection  evaluating them as one might a friend  enemy  or lover--subjectively  passionately  at times irrationally  but always with a visceral sense of connection and personal insight. Currin pairs these portraits  which in their juxtaposition become a composite self-portrait  with commentary on the works and the ways in which they relate to his own painting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924806172725,"sku":"ByrdShop_0878466584","price":102.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780878466580.jpg?v=1794141653","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/john-currin-selects-9780878466580","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
