Clemente

Rating:
Summary: must have for any collection of art and book lovers
Review: ah clemente. clemente. lover of women, life's questions, self, color and paint. patriarch of a particular vision of the world which centers itself on wine, women, ocean waves, implied half-riddles and the lyrical brush. i was lucky enough to catch his show at the guggenheim several years ago and have been desperately coveting this book since. he works on large scale, so capturing his imposing imagery can be tough (to be mild). however, in an endeavor to capture the man through his works, this large-scoped voluminous edition works wonders at the foot of the mountain. the best of the attempts, it's like a conversation with the man himself. a must have for art lovers, a must have for romantics, a must have for any library or coffee table. it's a lovely book, full true color, and a ripe collection of his works. a good work, and well worth anyone's time.

Summary: art, love, and beauty
Review: Clemente quoted De Chirico once in an interview with Vanity Fair, "What Shall I love if not the enigma." Clemente's paintings, indeed, exhibit a mysterious charm that invites the viewers into the artist's inner world of Indian mysticism and physcial beauty. Juxtaposed with Robert Creeley's poetry, this volume of fantastic and sensual paintings clearly is a must for all Clemente fans. From Napoli to New York, Clemente has wooed the jet-setters on both sides of the Atlantic, establishments such as the Guggenheim in New York, and me, a Yale College student.
