NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: KACERE by JOHN KACERE (1996) • The ridiculously scarce Japanese-only publication on the work of John Kacere. • Published by Images of Erotic Art in Tokyo in 1996, this fantastic monograph reproduces his famous photorealist paintings in full colour across roughly 140 landscape pages, broken into chapters "Lace", "See Through", "Delta", "Cotton", "Hip", and "Garter". Includes quotes from John Kacere in English, plus short texts and biography in Japanese, portrait of the artist in his studio, and more. • John C. Kacere (23 June 1920 – 5 August 1999) was an American artist. Originally an abstract expressionist, Kacere adopted a photorealist style in 1963. Nearly all of his iconic paintings depict the midsection of the female body. Although he rejected the term, Kacere is considered one of the original photorealists. Kacere's first painting in this style was in 1969, involving the midsection of a woman dressed in lingerie. It was over three times life size. Kacere continued this type of painting throughout the rest of his career, making it an icon of the photorealism movement. Though figurative paintings, Kacere's works have often been considered still lifes or even landscapes. • One copy only, available via our website and in the bookshop. • #worldfoodbooks #johnkacere #kacere (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)
