What few people realize is that he was originally trained as a landscape painter. In recent years, Lowe has increasingly turned back to painting, producing complex multi-panel and quasi-abstract images that are deeply rooted in thirty years of work creating \"social sculptures,\" recalling the urban fabric of cities around the world that have formed the backdrop of many of his community-based art projects. This book, which brilliantly reproduces Lowe's paintings, is the first dedicated to the work of this important American artist, focusing on his painterly practice and its origins in his work in the public sphere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dieter Roelstraete\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951449452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951449452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Neubauer Collegium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.28h x 10.31w x 1.18d","brand":"Dieter Roelstraete","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44364958138623,"sku":"9781951449452","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56e8b722-98ca-40da-9eeb-f86c6ebd54c2.jpg?v=1697055823","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rick-lowe-dieter-roelstraete-9781951449452","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
