Peter Lenzo: In Memory of his Memory - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Peter Lenzo: In Memory of his Memory is a collection of works that span several decades of the late artist's life. For Lenzo, his face jugs were a homage both to traditional Southern pottery practices and to the friends and family who inspired the work he so lovingly created. But it is so much more. Lenzo, who suffered a head injury early in life that resulted in seizures, epilepsy, and ultimately dementia, used his art as a way of channeling his despair as well as his elation. The photographs of Lenzo's face jugs and reliquaries, many of which on the reverse side also bear the artist's notated perceptions of the work itself, have been intimately annotated by his daughter Roxy Lenzo Douthit. Lenzo Douthit also wrote an enlightening introduction and acknowledgments for this book. Peter Lenzo: In Memory of his Memory contains a foreword by the SC State Museum's Paul Matheny and an essay by the late Wim Roefs. Ultimately, Peter Lenzo: In Memory of his Memory is a love story about a man who led an equally unique and intentional life as an artist and a father. We are fortunate to be given this insight into the complicated but beautiful mind of such an artist. Cindi Boiter Editor, In Memory of His Memory
