Описание: Sun-dappled carp, radiant blossoms, and tumultuous waters are among the wonders and mysteries of nature captured in Joseph Raffaels brilliant close-up paintings. Joseph Raffael has taken what some would consider the highly radical step of dating to paint beautiful pictures at a time when beauty is much out of favor in the art world. Long one of contemporary arts most highly regarded painters, the 64-year-old American-born artist painstakingly creates each painting based on a photograph.

Working on a very large scale -- using either watercolor, oil, or acrylic -- he transforms intensely observed details of nature into color-drenched, deeply felt works of art. Amei Wallachs warmly perceptive introduction, inspired by a visit to the artists studio in the south of France, explores Raffaels sources, his inspirations, and his ideas about art; her individual chapter openers address the predominant subjects within the artists work. A thought-provoking text by Donald Kuspit puts Raffaels painting in the context of 20th-century art, psychology, and philosophy.

The artist himself has contributed two fascinating elements, both of which illuminate the pleasures and occasional terrors of the creative process: Diary of a Painting -- tracing the evolution of one major work over several months, from the original slide to the finished wall-size watercolor-and an informative and revealing Autobiographical Chronology.
