Alexis Rockman
Editorial Reviews Book Description Alexis Rockman, born in 1962, is a leader among a young generation of artists who have returned to figurative content. Inspired by the natural sciences, he creates perverse yet seductive paintings that explore the intersections between biology and technology, reality and fantasy. Rockman's earliest work deals with natural history in ways that are eerie but believable; his latest work is inspired by a trip to Guyana and by late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century science expedition narratives. The graphic presentation of this full-color monograph is a tour-de-force, with striking reproductions of Rockman's beautifully rendered and thought-provoking paintings. About the Author Stephen Jay Gould is a noted paleontologist and award-winning author.
Jonathan Crary is a professor of art history at Columbia University and a founding editor of Zone.
David Quammen is the author of eight books, including The Song of the Dodo.
