Book Description:
According to The New York Times, 'It would be easy to read Kurt Kauper's nude portraits of the former hockey players Bobby Orr and Derek Sanderson as a rote comment on the fragile state of American (or Canadian) masculinity. They work better as an erotic and personal tribute, one that draws on the artist's childhood in a Bruins worshiping Boston suburb; the neo Classical figuration of Jacques Louis David; and the overt sensuality of pre Stonewall 'athletic' films.' This slim, beautifully produced, bright yellow linen bound exhibition catalogue with tipped on cover image features some of the most strangely arresting male nudes on canvas today. Ranging from life sized, full frontal portraits of a nude Cary Grant at home in his suave, mid century movie star manse (2001 2003) to the artist's most recent portraits of god like, real life Canadian hockey stars of the 1960s and 70s, this volume presents work that is perverse, liberated and rightly hilarious alongside essays by Wayne Koestenbaum and Pepe Karmel.
