Nude and Landscape

Text by Sid Sachs and a conversation between the artist and William Horner

Over 40 colour illustrations

John Stezaker's found images, collages and image fragments are most associated with cinematic imagery, however it is the other found-image sources which he has worked with over the past 30 years which are the focus of this publication; notably the artist's 'Bridge' collages and the anatomical nudes of his 'Fall' and 'Expulsion' series. The catalogue, published in association with Rosenwald- Wolf Gallery, Philadelphia, centres on Stezaker's works from the 1980s when he switched from the cinematic imagery of the 1970s towards 'an engagement with the culture of the image to the nature of the image'. Over 40 full colour illustrations are accompanied by a text by curator Sid Sachs, who explores the relationship between the landscape and the nude, and a conversation between the artist and William Horner.
