There are masks, costumes, recurring props and motifs, and a pervasive ambiguity between human and beast. A gleefully deranged comedy animates these bright surfaces--a sense of spontaneous mischief and delight in the brush strokes and blurred paints--but also a longing within the characters themselves, hints of dark melancholy and unsettling private narratives.\u003cbr\u003eWith a self-taught experimental style both unrestrained and delicately precise, Huck is a nuanced observer of gesture, posture and facial expression, of the personae that conceal us and the flaws that make us real.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Huck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0999265598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780999265598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ice Plant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.40h x 7.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Jon Huck","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44066491793663,"sku":"9780999265598","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_90164776-cc51-40b9-946f-1593a61a14e4.jpg?v=1685407594","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jon-huck-jon-huck-9780999265598","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
