This review is from: Baby-Boom Daydreams: The Art of Douglas Bourgeois (Hardcover)

The collaborative effort of Dan Cameron (Senior Curator at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York); David S. Rubin (Curator of Visual Arts at the Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans), and art consultant Estill Curtis Pennington , Baby-Boom Daydreams: The Art Of Douglas Bourgeois showcases the live and work of American figurative artist Douglas Bourgeois. His subject matter ranged from the everyday citizenry of Louisiana, to pop-culture artifacts, environmental concerns, social issues, iconic "Golden Age" Hollywood personalities, to contemporary rock 'n' roll. Comprised of three insightful and informed essays enhanced with reproductions of key works raging from 1975 to 2001, Baby-Boom Daydreams is a welcome and highly recommended addition to personal and academic 20th Century American Art History collections.
