Lasker employs the familiar tools of representational painting--figure and ground, space and perspective--to destabilize its dividing line with abstraction. In keeping with Lasker's line of formal inquiry, this compact volume presents an unlikely yet productive pairing: a selection of the artist's large canvases intermingled with the Frye Art Museum's collection of late 19th- and early 20th-century paintings. Embedded within the museum's salon, Lasker's compositions open unexpected conversations across time, style and painterly intent. The publication includes photographs of the exhibition, as well as a foreword by collector Judy Greenstein, an essay by director Jamilee Lacy that discusses the exhibition in the context of Lasker's overall practice, and an interview between the artist and Lacy.","brand":"Marquand Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47999474663575,"sku":"9781646570478","price":912.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781646570478.webp?v=1783600749","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/frye-salon-jonathan-lasker-9781646570478","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
