The remarkable creativity of protean American painter
Doug Argue is brought vividly to life in this book
With a colossal curiosity and tireless dedication to his solitary studio practice, Argue stands as a
thinker-painter admired by a growing circle of curators and collectors. His work has been shown in museums
and galleries worldwide. His often giant canvases shed virtuosic light on his ongoing fascinations – with history,
colour, perspective, literature, language, music, science and technology. Inspired by everyday subjects,
Argue may explore a single theme in multiple paintings over the course of many years, always pushing for new
meanings.
