George Condo : humanoids

George Condo is renowned for his hybrid use of artistic influences, from the Old Masters to cubism to pop art. The artist who coined the term « artificial realism » blends imagery and styles from various movements in works that critique contemporary Western culture and its excesses. The paintings and sculptures presented in this volume retrace his journey through the parallel universe of Humanoids : figures that are metaphors of our humanity, magnifying our emotions and revealing our high and low points. For the first time, in his own words, Condo reveals the genesis and significance of his creations and unveils previously unseen paintings created under the dual influence of the pandemic and political turmoil in the United States.
