New condition exhibition catalog. Illustrated in color. NO marks or signs of handling / wear. Fine. 2005 softcover exhibition catalog. 32 pages; Illustrated. "What refreshing innocence when an artist reveals that one of their first influences in art was Bob Ross. Nothing pretentious, this isnt like declaring that the first album you bought was John Coltranes Ascension. This is a memory shared by myself and Florida-born, Minneapolis-based painter, Lamar Peterson. Whether through Bob Ross, comic books or growing up in suburbia, the man behind such elegant and, at times, biting social-commentary paintings, has found a way to channel an almost pop beginning into series after series of figurative and experimental representations of Black America. The paintings can be funny, bleak, enchanting, folkloric, historic and darkly idyllic. Now an Assistant Professor of Drawing and Painting at the University of Minnesota Department of Art, Petersons recent solo shows at Fredericks & Freiser in NYC, including the recent A Self-Portrait in 2017, are some of his most colorful, unconventional and significant to date. I talked with Lamar Peterson this spring to discuss my favorites amongst his paintings, how teaching helps expand his output and the colors that move him." -- Gallery website.
