Bob Thompson & Candida Alvarez: Real Monsters in Bold Colors - Hardcover

by Bob Thompson (Artist), Hendrik Folkerts (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

"Thompson's work is my liberation. Why not a pink, red or brown body frolicking under a tree?" --Candida Alvarez

Titled after a poem by Hettie Jones, Real Monsters in Bold Colors unites the geometrically abstract paintings of Candida Alvarez (born 1955) with those of her inspiration, Bob Thompson (1937-66), exploring the interplay between two artists who have reshaped the discourse of figurative and abstract traditions.
