Well-known in his native Venezuela, but little known outside Latin America, Rever n deserves to be ranked alongside the great early European Modernists. By the 1920s, he had fused post-Impressionistic idioms with an extremely tactile surface and an almost monochromatic palette, creating unmistakably original paintings that are both mysterious and radical. In addition to Rever n's paintings, the exhibition includes life-sized dolls and other objects that he and his partner, Juanita R os, created to fill their secluded Caribbean home. Rever n's figurative works seem to replicate the perceptual experience of puzzling out forms in shadowy interiors; increasingly over the years, the subjects of these paintings came to be not human beings but his own life-sized dolls. This volume, the first major publication on Rever n in English, features more than 100 paintings, drawings, and objects, accompanied by texts by MoMA curators John Elderfield, Luis P rez-Oramas and Nora Lawrence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Armando Rever\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0870707116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780870707117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Museum of Modern Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.25h x 10.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2007 pg. 115\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/02\/2007 pg. 272","brand":"Armando Rever","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45481734963455,"sku":"9780870707117","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd7429eb-24a5-42ae-affd-74f76b58a0ae.jpg?v=1715987517","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/armando-rever-n-armando-rever-n-9780870707117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
