He became notable for paintings of square-jawed detective-hero types and swooning vixens based on pulp romance covers. Employing what critic Carlo McCormick termed a \"devious sense of irony done with incredible sincerity,\" he examined painting's relationship to mass-culture images of desire, mining lurid illustrations from the 1940s and 50s and rerepresenting them in a style culled from \"how to paint\" books. Robinson's subsequent paintings of beer cans and bottles, pharmaceuticals, fast-food burgers, Lands' End models and online erotic \"selfies\" continue to address our indulgence of longing and excess in a media-saturated world. \u003ci\u003eWalter Robinson: Paintings and Other Indulgences\u003c\/i\u003e is the first monograph on Robinson, with photographs of 140 paintings spanning his 35-year career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 10.1 x 9.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 26, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42727304265791,"sku":"9780945558415","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/15df3355dea7f667f1879dfa226e13fa.webp?v=1765114309","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/walter-robinson-paintings-and-other-indulgences-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
