Nathan Oliveira

Rating:
Summary: a long awaited masterpiece
Review: Finally a retospective of this American master. Nathan Oliveira is seen here in over fifty years of paintings, monotypes, lithographs, drawings, watercolors and sculpture. This book is a true gem, as all most all the illustrations are in color. Most of the work has never even been seen since this is the first true documentation on Oliveira to come out in book form. Oliveira's paintings are a celebration of color, process, and figurative gesture. Nathan Oliveira may be one of the most overlooked living American artists. This book is a long awaited masterpiece by an American master. A must have for all lovers of art.

Summary: Incredible book about an incredible artist!
Review: Just the right amount of history and ample full-color depictions of the artist's masterful use of gesture, color and raw expression. This book really showcases Oliveira's amazing versatility and his under-rated virtuosity as a painter. Oliveira's work should be included among the greats of contemporary art--and this book proves it. Wow!
