<p>Lundin (art, U. of Washington) provides a thoughtful, illuminating introductory chapter to this catalogue, prepared to accompany a 2002 exhibit at the Frye Art Museum, for which he was guest curator. One hundred and forty-two drawings are presented. An interesting controversy is briefly described: Lundin favored presenting the images unencumbered by text so that visual engagement would be paramount, while Debra Byrne (a director at the Frye Museum) was reluctant to omit contextual information such as author biographies and info about the media and format. The compromise (which is effective): text is unobtrusively presented at the end of the book, after the images have had their say. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)</p>

The Perception of Appearance: A Decade of Contemporary American Figure Drawing

Lundin, Norman

History & Criticism

Frye Art Museum

<p>This book celebrates noted Seattle sculptor Phillip LevineÕs fifty-year anniversary as the creator of works inspired by the worlds of dance, song, sport, and social commentary. It includes a valuable autobiographical essay by the sculptor. Contributions by fellow sculptor Tom Jay and Norman Lundin, painter and professor of art at the University of Washington, offer an intimate perspective on the artistÕs enduring creative endeavor and accomplishment. Levine has lived, taught, and maintained a studio in Seattle since he arrived in the city in 1959. His sculpture Dancer With Flat Hat has greeted generations of students at the University of Washington. All those who have found beauty and delight in LevineÕs vision will enjoy the comprehensive portfolio of illustrations at the heart of the book, which covers the full span of his career. This fresh look into the artistÕs life work reveals his deep interest in the figure in movement, and the unexpected way the use of bronze, with its density and strength, opened the door to an artistic world of timeless lightness and grace.</p>
