Kurzbeschreibung
A modern-day shaman, Lurie leads us on a vision quest through the annals of our collective history, and on to a broader world. Alternatively exposing or addressing the larger, enduring myths of our culture through sketches of seemingly lost childhood reveries, this first compilation of ex-downtown indie art, film, and music god John Lurie’s paintings presents his would-be musings in a new, interpretive storytelling—haunting, poignant, or puerile as the outcome may ultimately be. The paintings are passages from the semiotics of his own mind: the enduring stories and images are seized upon then captured to communicate Lurie’s cryptic symbolism. The visions are of a perverse adult playground, peopled not by men and women in conventional adult roles or scenarios—at the office, home, or on vacation—but rather animals in new contexts, a reversal of the personification found in stuffed animals and bedtime stories. The titles or incorporated language and text are too simple for revelation, even too brief for a Lurie brand of dreamscape Americana, and function as a complicating punch. He broaches necessary questions in perhaps the only way we can access them—by the alarming surprise of his simplicity, and the non sequiturs in association with his symbolism.
Über den Autor
John Lurie—musician, actor, producer and, most recently, exhibiting painter—was born in Minneapolis in 1952. Having first emerged in the late 1970s as a saxophone player leading the avant-garde New York jazz group the Lounge Lizards, Lurie has since established himself time and time again as a formidable presence in the New York cultural scene. Recognizable from his scoring and acting, Lurie has scored over 20 films and starred in several cult film and TV classics, including Stranger than Paradise, Down By Law, and Fishing with John, which he also wrote and directed. He was nominated for a Grammy award for the score of Get Shorty. Lurie has been a visual artist since the 1970s, and has exhibited his works at Anton Kern Gallery and Roebling Hall, New York, Galerie Daniel Blau, Munich, Galerie Gabriel Rolt, Amsterdam, Galerie Lelong, Zurich, the Montreal Musuem of Fine Arts, and in 2008, the new Museum of Modern Art, Luxembourg. In 2006, P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center hosted Lurie's first solo museum exhibition, John Lurie: Works on Paper.
Glenn O'Brien has written for Rolling Stone, Oui, Artforum, Spin, Vanity Fair, Italia, Paper, and L'Uomo Vogue, but his earliest gig was as the editor and art designer at Andy Warhol's fledgling project Interview. In 1976 he formed the band Konelrad, which played the CBGB circuit as the world's first socialist-realist rock band. He spent the late 70s and early 80s launching Glenn O'Brien's TV Party on Manhattan Cable TV's public access channel and writing and producing Downtown 81, starring Jean-Michel Basquiat. He currently serves as the creative director of Barneys Advertising, created advertising for such clients as Calvin Klein, Ian Schrager Hotels, Swatch, Dior, Nike, Armani, Fila, Rock the Vote, among many others. His books include The Style Guy, Soapbox (essays), and the poetry collection Human Nature (dub version). He is editor of the literary magazine Bald Ego and has a novel forthcoming.

Actually on my Coffee Table
1. März 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is the one art book my household actually keeps out all the time because we want our friends to be able to look at it when they come over. We're huge John Lurie fans -- Fishing With John is the best thing ever -- and his paintings enchant on so many levels. They're funny, exciting, surreal, puzzling, and beautiful. The book itself is high quality, with very nice heavy paper and good binding.
Lurie fan all the way

I'm just a Lurie fan in general, usually his music, but the same humor and simplicity exists in everything he does. i'll be tickled to get this book.
This Book is a Treasure.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Flipping through this book is truly an experience. Each painting is its own universe and you never know what to expect on the next page. Lurie has done things with watercolor that I never thought possible - he has completely obliterated my association of the medium of watercolor with watery landscapes by old ladies. The colors are rich and vibrant, sometimes almost primitive - the subject matter is profound, completely simple, hilarious, tragic, understated, insane. I have never encountered an artist so freely able to express his subconcious mind on paper - and it is a fascinating mind.
