Thank you @laurenchristensen for picking 'Lynette Yiadom-Boakye: Fly In League With The Night' for the @nytbooks Holiday Gift Guide, ""Coffee-Table Books to Give (and Get) This Season!" ⠀ ⠀ Christensen writes, "The oil portraits collected in 'LYNETTE YIADOM-BOAKYE: Fly in League With the Night' (D.A.P./Tate, $55) depict people the contemporary British artist has imagined into being, and allude to the long tradition of European portraiture by men like Rembrandt, Goya and Degas — only to overturn these examples, making the message, and the medium, her own."⠀ ⠀ This gorgeous book is published to accompany a major survey originating on view @tate en route to @modernamuseet @kunstsammlungnrw & @mudamlux through 2022.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Texts by @isabella_maidment @ahschlieker @alexanderlizzy & @lynetteyiadomboakye⠀⠀ ⠀ Read more about the book via linkinbio.⠀ ⠀ #lynetteyiadomboakye #flyinleaguwiththenight #holidaygift #holidagiftbook #blackarttoday #isabellamaidment #elizabethalexander #AndreaSchlieker https://www.instagram.com/p/CIV05wNpYYg/?igshid=12kyyrazse89w
