Leon Golub: echoes of the real [2nd ed.]

A completely revised and updated edition of my book on Golub with 2 new chapters and over 80 additional illustrations. Also updating of the artists biography, bibliography, exhibitions list, etc.
The book examines Golub's relationship to Modernism and post-war American art. The author argues for Golub's practice as one of 'critical realism', focusing on two themes: how his art figures the body as a sign for social and psychic identity, and the symbolic expression of social space.

First edition published in 2000 to accompany an exhibition at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, 5 July - 15 October 2000 and then touring to South London Art Gallery, 3 November - 17 December, 2000; Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, 19 January - 15 April, 2000; Brooklyn Museum of Art, Spring/Summer 2000.
