Inspired by the Southern oral tradition of his youth, his experiences in the army as a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War and Japanese haiga and Zenga, Palmer blends word and image, anticipating artists like Raymond Pettibon and David Shrigley, to a darkly humorous, sometimes difficult effect. Palmer's witty, grisly animals, figures and cityscapes are paired with phrases like \"a lightning storm while buried with your cat\" or \"there was a time of day when the bulls and I got real bad ideas at exactly the same time.\" Together they reveal, in the artist's words, the \"anger, rage, longing, sadness, courage and grace\" in American culture.\u003cbr\u003eWith a focus on recent work, \u003ci\u003eRoger Clay Palmer\u003c\/i\u003e brings together 60 exemplary paintings on paper and organizes them thematically, with sections focused on his depictions of animals, eyes, landscapes and war. Including an essay by curator David Norr, this long-overdue monograph is an invitation into Palmer's intense and unruly world, full of idiosyncratic insight and biting wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Clay Palmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1736840800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781736840801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kmec\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.50h x 9.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Roger Clay Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069168808191,"sku":"9781736840801","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_337b1939-0b22-4ed4-a1fc-20023c196c25.jpg?v=1685423197","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/roger-clay-palmer-roger-clay-palmer-9781736840801","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
