Table of ContentsReviewsThis monograph, the first to catalog Hurvin Anderson's extensive body of work, begins in 2000, near the beginning of his career, and stretches to his more contemporary works-a survey that showcases the ways in which the artist's style and themes have evolved over time. In his paintings, Anderson uses both realism and abstraction, blurring the lines between metaphors, history and his own memories to explore his Afro-Caribbean heritage, and the complexities of that identity within the context of his British citizenship and upbringing. The book is peppered with poems by actor Roger Robinson, some refreshing the narrative behind the paintings, others offering a completely different take. -VANITY FAIR """This monograph, the first to catalog Hurvin Anderson’s extensive body of work, begins in 2000, near the beginning of his career, and stretches to his more contemporary works—a survey that showcases the ways in which the artist’s style and themes have evolved over time.
