A highly-anticipated new collection of 58 of Robert Williams' most recent paintings, many from his past three shows at Tony Shafrazi's Gallery in New York. The images range from Williams' familiar lowbrow and biker culture, and delve deep into a faux science of quantum mechanics, leaving the viewer in a world of scientific mindplay.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent presentation of one of the greatist artists of our time!,
This review is from: Through Prehensile Eyes (Hardcover)
This book is a walkthrough of 58 paintings by Robert Williams with each plate receiving a suitable diatribe from the artistic genius himself. I read through and studied each painting in one sitting and could not put this book down, although the subject matter and depth of each painting is probably best taken over a longer period of time. I would highly recommend this book as a study of hyperrealism and the most most extreme distortion of the physical world.

I have Malicious Respendence (signed) which is one of my favorite books. This is a perfect companion piece. These are the paintings that Williams did since that book came out several years ago. High quality, beautiful book. Highly recommended!
