This book documents the work of contemporary artist David Reed (b. 1946), who from his earliest paintings in the 1970s to his more recent work has continually challenged notions of modern and postmodern art. Reed's choice of long horizontal and vertical formats for some of his work was an influence of film and photography, and his recent integration of mediums has furthered his resourceful aesthetic. As David Reed noted in his interview in Between Artists, "Painting can reflect our current environment, it has to be radically reinvented to be relevant to the present. I want my paintings not to be nostalgic or sentimental-that means they have to be about this moment. A corollary of that is that they should be an integral part of life, not separated in museums or galleries".
