He creates surreal assemblages that question our systems of value and contradict our understanding of what elements or images may be brought together. His work confronts social norms with both irony and satire; while retaining a firm understanding of the history of painting, B ttner is constantly testing convention. His large-scale neo-Expressionist and neo-Dadaist works address social issues with a biting and wry humour. In doing so, B ttner uses all genres of painting, including still life, self-portraiture and history painting. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis lavishly-produced book presents newly commissioned texts as well as key essays relating to B ttner's practice, and--taken with its sister volume dealing with his collage practice \u003ci\u003eMy Looting Eye\u003c\/i\u003e--are the first substantial books on B ttner in English for many years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 12.8 x 10.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 22, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770008666400,"sku":"9781910433751","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/96cf7035d71541a1ec406bb7e012d90e.webp?v=1780362382","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/werner-buttner-coincidence-in-splendour-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
