Rese�a del editor

Steve Whitehead is one of the leading English realist painters of his generation. A painter of landscapes, cities and figures, his work draws on diverse traditions, from American Photorealism, to German Romanticism and English Surrealism, to create images that are both familiar and strange. In this new study Michael Paraskos explores the influences that have helped to create Whiteheads art, and places him in a critical context as one of the new generation of aesthetic realist painters who are revolutionising British painting. The book is lavishly illustrated in full colour.
