註釋Coinciding with a touring exhibition of paintings and works on paper, this book is the first monograph on the acclaimed Israeli painter Gideon Rubin. After witnessing the events of 9/11 in New York first hand, Rubin turned his back on his realist way of working and embarked on a method that has become his signature style. Using found photographs, magazines and newspapers, mainly from the mid-twentieth century, as his primary source material, he paints portraits faceless portraits. These small, unnerving paintings of featureless figures, full of life but empty of expression, are charming and chilling in equal measure, seductive yet sinister, intimate but impactful, delicate though disconcerting.
