L' artiste, le modèle et la peinture

More about the book

The first monograph for Polish-born Agnieszka Brzezanska, this artist book offers a compelling compilation of her mysterious, subtle and deeply felt photographs, paintings and videos. The book's title was taken from a poster for a Picasso exhibition that the artist photographed and used as the poster for her own show -- creating a ready-made accentuating the rain smudged lettering of the original poster. The peach-colored cover of this soft-cover book, with its image of a kinked heart --referring to her heart paintings and her musical video, Heart Play -- makes the book seem like something discovered at a kiosk on the banks of the Seine. The monograph was developed while Brzezanska was a guest of the Berlin DAAD artist-in-residence program. With a compelling essay by Andrew Renton.
