Axel Geis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780981457826)

Invoking the tradition of Velázquez, Goya and Manet, the young German painter Axel Geis takes faces and figures derived from cinema and sets them against seemingly unfinished backdrops, in accord with Baudelaire's "Painter of Modern Life" "to extract from fashion the poetry that resides in its historical envelope."
