Hurvin Anderson

Synopsis

Hurvin Anderson (Rizzoli), the first major monograph on the work of the Jamaican-British artist, nominated for the Turner Prize, includes substantial visual documentation of his career, with a foreword by Courtney J. Martin, an essay by Catherine Lampert, and poems by Roger Robinson. In Anderson’s paintings, the publisher writes, “a tug-of-war plays out between abstraction and figuration, nature versus the manmade, beauty and menace, and his British and Jamaican heritage.”
