Autumn's Come Undone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Autumn's Come Undone reproduces Shag's artworks from his solo art show in 2009 and it's easily the most interesting Shag imagery since.... well, a long time. The usual cast of retro hipsters are here, but, this time they seem to have multiplied so that the illustrations are packed dense with figures that seem to cover every inch of the frame. Shag has probably been looking at some outsider art for inspiration and it helps elevate his otherwise paint-by-number compositions to a new direction. If this sounds like a left-handed compliment then I guess it is, but there's no denying that the new, heavily populated images pack a punch. With the muted earth tones and darker feel these images have breathed new life into the art of Shag. As for the book itself, the production values are fine. If there's one suggestion it would have been to print this as an oversized book since each image is filled with many small details versus a single, large figure, and the pictures seem too small at times. At the gallery where Shag's canvas prints were shown, they were much larger than his normal paintings so you could see the details. Overall, a recommended book for the Shag or retro art fan.

Product Description:
Shag is an internationally acclaimed modern artist whose expertly rendered paintings are visual celebrations of life's pleasures and indulgences. His work is instantly recognizable for its trademark combination of sly humor and vibrant colors. Until now... Something's come undone. The intimate moments that have made Shag famous have been replaced by epic tableaus. Richly hued designer environments have given way to subtly desaturated expanses. Characters who were once grounded in mid-century formality are teetering on the brink of chaos. This collection of new work showcases the largest, darkest and most thought provoking images Shag has ever created. The art is distinctly Shag, but it's painted in shades of black humor.
