Scully&#8217;s inimitable pictures used to rely solely on paint &#8211; applied with a strong, but above all abstract gesture &#8211; the new series however appears like a surprising point of reversal. Yet, the new paintings are a return to his earliest beginnings, as, in the 1950s, Scully embarked along the Fauves and German Expressionism from realism into the realm of pure colour. Even today, abstraction, as he sees it, is still infused with memories of figurative sources. This richly illustrated catalogue brings together all <em>Ois&iacute;n-Paintings<\/em>, enriched by graphic works from Albertina&#8217;s collection, extensive material from Scully&#8217;s private archive, as well as in-depth essays by Werner Spies and Elisabeth Dutz elaborating on this newly obtained painterly freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The book presents an unfamiliar side of Sean Scully: a series of large-scale figurative paintings, material from his private archive, and essays on his new painterly freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32150,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5568],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-32149","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-art","7":"author-edited-by-klaus-albrecht-schroder","8":"author-text-by-elisabeth-dutz","9":"author-text-by-werner-spies","10":"publisher-kerber-verlag","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sean Scully - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: Sean Scully, Pages: 168 Pages, Publish Date: 3rd Jan 2020, Author: Edited by Klaus Albrecht Schr\u00f6der, Text by Elisabeth Dutz, Text by Werner Spies, ISBN: 9783735605665.
