Introducing Tom Slaughter / by Hannah and Nell Jocelyn -- The negative space / by David Marshall Grant -- The object maker / by George Negroponte - Every summer / by Marthe Jocelyn -- Objects -- Look, and really see / by Anne Pasternak -- Unmistakably him / interviews with Stephen Hannock, Jean-Payul Russell, Robert Harms, Ray Charles White, and Scott Kilgour.
Of Tom Slaughter, Henry Geldzahler, the first curator of twentieth-century art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, commented: "The quality of freshness, the familiar world re-seen, from the water towers of New York City to the rural pleasures of boating, is the most immediately arresting aspect of Tom Slaughter's art. . . . Bold bright colors swiftly laid down echo with resonances: Leger and Stuart Davis, Raoul Dufy and Roy Lichtenstein." Slaughter's work, with its seemingly effortless whimsy rendered with a strong sense of line, color, and rhythm, has also been compared to Matisse. His Pop-inflected drawings, prints, paintings, and illustrations convey his love of life as he relentlessly explored the complexities of the urban scene or the simple pleasures of boating. The Artist Book Foundation is pleased to announce the publication of Tom Slaughter, an extensive monograph of the artist's enormous body of work that celebrates his enduring optimism, personal and artistic honesty, and charming brashness in a landscape of pure joy.
