Williams' narrative content reveals a dark sense of humor about everyday life, often exploring the role of the painter as observer. Wickedly funny allegories merge with abstract painting as free-form amoebic shapes frequently fill the entirety of his canvases. The resulting paintings offer a dense and absorbing terrain of color and form. \u003ci\u003eMichael Williams\u003c\/i\u003e is published to accompany the artist's first US solo museum exhibition, at Carnegie Museum of Art, where he presents a new body of his large-scale paintings as well as drawings that mix collage and free-associative mark-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0880390581\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780880390583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carnegie Museum of Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 9.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Michael Williams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50545991876863,"sku":"9780880390583","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/michael-williams-michael-williams-9780880390583","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
