He also kept a journal of the voyage which included descriptions of the Endeavour's progress up the east coast of the continent then called 'New Holland', and Cook's attempts to avert disaster after his ship was holed on a coral reef. The journal incorporated the 'Account of the Country, Natives and Natural Produce of New Holland', which is reprinted here together with Parkinson's vocabulary of the Aboriginal people, and his historic sketches of a kangaroo.

From the Forward: "...In this latest group of paintings, Alan Feltus has made another smooth but very encompassing step forward into the depth of psychologically intense figurative work in which he finds himself most comfortable. His enigmatic imaginary dramas involve himself and members of his family, either literally or by representation, and the dramas are highly charged as a result. It's as if the cool sensibility of the women who populated his past paintings has been left behind in America; here, in Umbria, in these paintings, every action, every movement, every moment people spend with each other has depth and meaning. It's a complex place, this Italy, where few things are as they seem. Thousands of years of civilization have formed a place of infinite layers of history and meaning. Alan Feltus is about… Read More

New York, NY: Miles McEnery Gallery, 2022. paperback. Very Good. 0x0x0. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Moffitt declares, “Few painters appear to be as different as Alex Dodge and Tom LaDuke. Dodge’s crisply rendered, rumpled patterns, stenciled so that they acquire the texture of their referent fabrics, have a unique physical presence that invites our touch. By contrast, LaDuke’s juxtaposition of abstract gestures–some brushed impasto, others poured or stenciled–atop foggy, inscrutable landscapes seem to place the physical world just out of reach, as if behind a pane of steamed glass. Both painters, however, achieve their results through a precise methodology that filters the material through the digital and then back out onto the analog surface of a canvas. Much of their work develops in the virtual space of Blender, a 3D computer graphics software program that synthesizes drawings… Read More

"At the end of the twenties the position of Rodchenko became, however, more and more difficult. His way of photographing was considered too "formalist" and, with the advent of Stalinism and an aesthetic status, the prosecution became quite serious. Photographers like Shaikhet Al'pert accused Rodchenko and follow in the footsteps of… Read More
