The works in this exhibition catalogue record the time when Robert Ryman, then in his early twenties, was formulating his disciplined approach to painting. On off-white and translucent materials including wallpaper, a circular coffee filter, newsprint and mylar, Ryman drew, tooled, brushed and pressed his marks using a flat table to support the work. His decision to use the square as a consistent format for non-narrative work was set, and while he sporadically used color in these earliest works, he subsequently chose white almost exclusively in the process of eliminating all that was superfluous to a painting.

This review is from: Robert Ryman: Works On Paper 1957-1964 (Hardcover)
Robert Ryman "Works on Paper (1957-1964)" features 31 full page plates in full color, along with a brief interview with Ryman and an introduction by Peter Blum. Though many consider Ryman's brand of minimalism boring, this book displays some of his best and most involved work (in other words, the plates aren't just of one pure white painting after another). Exquisite mark making, brilliant composition, and all the subtle nuances Ryman fans love. If you like Ryman's work, this is a great little volume to add to your collection.
