John Stezaker - silkscreens

For the first time, this large-format volume brings together John Stezaker's uniquesilkscreen works executed between 1977 and 1994. Stezaker is best known forhis intimate collages of film stills, postcards and other found imagery; these mid- tolarge-scale silkscreens add a new, fascinating perspective to the perception of thisinventive British artist. While this body of work seems to contrast with the collages,in fact it uses many of the same techniques, like cutting out, cropping, slicing,over-laying and repetition, and create the dark, cinematic feeling, alternatelymenacing and satirical, that pervades Stezaker's work.
