The stark drama of his explicit themes, the phenomenal exactitude of his observations juxtaposed against the brilliant iridescence of his colorations, are currently being celebrated as a rediscovery in an international context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe subject of a homosexual artist's life in New York's demimonde is only the veneer of meaning of his work. Although his subject is inevitably his own life, it is a reflection of the human condition we all know: the longing for love, friendship, and acceptance. This poetic unison, supported by superb technical execution, gives \u003cem\u003ePatrick Angus'\u003c\/em\u003e paintings and drawings their irresistible, emotional, and universal appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePainting was the passion of \u003cem\u003ePatrick Angus'\u003c\/em\u003e short life. Dying a victim of the AIDS plague, his only wish was that his work would survive him. This book is a posthumous homage to a great artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExhibition: Galerie Thomas Fuchs, Stuttgart 23.9-5.11.2016\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597490602220,"sku":"9783775741804","price":100.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/0137fbba18cb785e5d5a33ed06a7d0c3.jpg?v=1777958601","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/patrick-angus-9783775741804","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
