***DELAYED PUBLICATION*** Tom Blackwell is primarily known for his work in Photorealism, a stylistic movement noted for its ardent embrace of photographic source material. In 1969, he began a series of brashly beautiful motorcycle paintings that established him as one of the founders and foremost artists of the movement. In conjunction with his photorealist paintings, Blackwell has produced a related body of work that is allegorical in its perspective. Combining photo-derived images, he addresses themes such as the passage of time, the fragility of nature, and the continuity that weaves through human history. The paintings, rich in symbolism and interpretive possibilities, fascinate and impress viewers with the breadth of Blackwell's abilities. Blackwell, born in Chicago in 1938, has deftly captured the vibrancy and visual excitement of urban street life for the past four decades and has had solo exhibitions across the United States and abroad. 'Tom Blackwell: The Complete Paintings, 1970-2014' is a comprehensive study of the artist's work as well as his artistic development and process, and includes a compilation of his early paintings through to his most recent works. AUTHOR: Linda Chase is the author of several works on contemporary Realism in addition to monographs on Photorealist painters including Ralph Goings and Richard Estes. She has been the director and curator of national and international Realist exhibitions and has written numerous catalogues for museums and galleries. SELLING POINTS: ? Tom Blackwell's emotionally and visually provocative work is brought together in this beautiful collection, beginning from 1970 to his most recent works ? This compilation documents his creative process, with his vivid motorcycle paintings offering an insight into Blackwell's vibrant and engaging style 150 colour illustrations
