From the publisher blurb, "Known for his epic canvases, vibrant palette, & explosive brushwork, Barnaby Furnas is one of the most visually audacious painters working today. This first monograph, which spans the course of his skyrocketing career, traces the evolution of his oeuvre & reveals the intricacies of his complex compositions. Dramatic & provocative, the paintings presented here radiate with frenetic energy & turbulence, while exploring archetypal themes of love, death, & war. While flirting with the boundaries of abstraction & figuration, these images challenge the conventions & limits of expressionist painting. They are spectacles of line, color & movement. 100 full-color." 157 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . As New/Fine,
