“The Apotheosis of Pleasure”
Artwork by Terry Rodgers Published by Torch Books , Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 2007 First U.S. Edition Offered in AS NEW condition is Terry Rodgers' “The Apotheosis of Pleasure,” published in 2007 by Torch Books. The bleak, colorful art of Terry Rodgers is unmistakable. Populated with women in heavy make-up and leather, the world of Rodgers' paintings is a decidedly sour one, w an abundance of money does not make for much happiness. The paintings depict rich twenty and thirty-somethings amidst well furnished, alcohol laden rooms, muscular men and anorexic women in an unfulfilling environment of only carnal pleasures. From the Publisher: “In the past few years, Terry Rodgers has emerged as one of America’s most talented figurative painters. Thanks to a brilliant technique combining effortless brushstrokes and elaborate compositions, his paintings compel the viewer to participate in a disenchanted world w beauty, sex and money do not seem to bring happiness. In Rodgers’ world of appearances, the real wealth lies in the art of painting. The Apotheosis of Pleasure, published by TORCH Books of Amsterdam, is the first comprehensive full-color catalogue to feature the work of this artist who will surely be recognized as on of the most important painters of the early 21st century. More than 60 works — selected in conjunction with the artist — present the full scope of Rodgers’ latest endeavour at portraying contemporary body politics. His rendering of the upper-class leisure life stands as an iconic vision of today’s society. A short tale, The Absent, by internationally best-selling French writer Alina Reyes (The Politics of love, The Butcher), invites the viewer to share a passionate and feminine experience of Rodgers’ work while also becoming the inspiration for performing our own story-telling based on Rodgers’ paintings.” This is an AS NEW hardcover book with pictorial boards and no dust jacket, as issued. It contains 112 pages with over 60 color illustrations and text from Alina Reyes and Catherine Somzé. The book measures 11.75 x 9 inches.
