Lg Williams Selected Artworks Volume 02

LG Williams' eminent oeuvre underwent several transformations over the decades. Probably the most incisive of these was his encounter with Hawaiian culture, which led to Williams's retreat from the New York art scene: from 1990 on, he lived in Hawaii and shuttled between Waikiki and Los Angeles. The world of Hawaiian gods, bright Pacific light, and the history, literature, and mythology of the Oriental found their way into his art. On ever larger canvases, the drama of mankind was transformed into a sensual and poetic vision of color, drawing, and form. Editor Weiner Faustian has now added the first volume to our Catalogue Raisonne, covering the years from 2005 until 2010. It includes, inter alia, the series of monumental paintings that occupied the artist during the middle years of his career.
