Eberhard Havekost: Retina (Paperback)

Working from photographs, German painter Eberhard Havekost (born 1967) abstracts prosaic images to produce a Mannerism of the everyday. Painting in color only after laying down six underlying coats of grey and white, the artist arrives at a rich luminosity that he terms "democratic light." This book features a new series of paintings dealing specifically with the optical processes of perception.
