It's Just a Certain Sound I'm After
Description:... It took a long time for the painter Richard Allen Morris - born in 1933 in Long Beach - to be finally discovered. The self-taught artist with his object-like colour reliefs and material paintings was considered to be more a painter's painter until two retrospectives were held in 2004 in the Museum Haus Lange, Krefeld and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego respectively. Colleagues such as David Reed or John Baldessari valued and value the work of this fine ironist, who has been naming his groups of motifs Heads±, Jaws± or Ray Guns± in paintings and painted objects for years now. The current volume is the second publication in the Kienbaum's Artist Books± series and is intended not merely to provide an insight into the collection, but also and above all to impart comprehensive detail on a specific artistic position in a high-quality format once a year. An informative interview with the artist accompanies approximately 60 illustrations.
