Description: Original Sin : The Visionary Art of Joe Coleman by Jim Jarmusch Coleman, Joe; Yau, John; Jarmusch, Jim and Schechter, HaroldOriginal Sin: The Visionary Art of Joe ColemanGates of Heck Inc, 1997. Condition: Used, Like New. [Attributes: Soft Cover] Tight binding, clean pages throughout. Joe Coleman is a powerful artist whose paintings in acrylic on Masonite contain within their bizarre decorative borders an astonishing profusion of specific, intensely colorful nightmare images. Often he places a totemic figure, such as Edgar Allan Poe or Ed Gein in the middle of the canvas, then he explores his fascination with that person by surrounding the figure with vignettes about the individual's life and work. After hours of meticulous labor with tiny brushes, every square millimeter of the canvas is covered with quotations, faces, glyphs, documents, dramatic scenes, and horrifying creatures. His paintings are often compared to illuminated manuscripts. Original Sin contains 48 pages of color plates, many with accompanying detail views, and numerous illustrations in black and white. Essays by filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, art historian John Yau, and writer Harold Schechter offer insights into Coleman's psyche and world-view.
