The Goodness of God

Verne Dawson: To hear a story to its end

Through his chimerical landscapes, Dawson collapses prehistoric, ancient and modern human history into folkloric tableaux Engaging ancient knowledge systems as well as the long history of direct painting, Alabama-born artist Verne Dawson (born 1955) depicts imagined futures and forgotten pasts. In billowing, gestural marks that often evanesce into abstraction, and working from both observation and memory, the artist contends with subjects including the cyclicality of time, fairy tales and folklore, Ice Age symbolism, astronomy and the emergence and destruction of the natural world, ultimately revealing their interconnectedness. Dawson's paintings, Jennifer Krasinski writes, "call upon viewers to practice a quality of depth perception to see what other wisdoms are stowed inside of symbolic orders and archetypes, popular objects and classic genres—and to better apprehend all that is known of this world and those that spin alongside it." The selected paintings in this richly illustrated volume span from 1985 to 2024.

Desperately Young

The first book to celebrate great artists who died before their time providing a unique insight into their life, work and death.Desperately Young introduces the masterpieces left behind by some of the greatest rising stars in fine art - all of whom died before their thirtieth birthday. Precocious talent seeps from each artist's work, along with a sense of unfulfilled potential. Informative biographies detail their legacies, while their tragic deaths lead us to wonder what heights they might've reached, had their lives not been cut short. Richly illustrated, Desperately Young presents prime examples of each artist's work, demonstrating how our cultural heritage is just a little narrower for their loss. From Europe to America to Japan and the Indian Subcontinent, the mid-14-hundreds to the late 20th century, this book hails the acknowledged greats and introduces those who died before they could leave an indelible mark on history. A compendium of 109 artists who fell prey to sickness, warfare, heartbreak or bad luck, Desperately Young is the only book to provide an in-depth study of artists who died young. Contents: With works from Tommaso Masaccio, Frédéric Bazille, Thomas Girtin, Egon Schiele, Henri Regnault, Ernst Klimt, Jeanne Hébuterne, Kaita Murayama, Hermann Stenner, Maurycy Gottlieb, Fyodor Vasilyev, Marie Bashkirtseff, Richard Parkes Bonington, Luisa Anguissola, Walter Deverell, August Macke, Pauline Boty and Jean-Michel Basquiat - among many others.
