Sarah Dwyer: Penti Menti
by Sarah Dwyer
€ 69.95
ISBN: 9783775762465
The title of the inaugural monograph of Irish artist Sarah Dwyer to the art historical concept of pentimento-from the Italian, pentirsi, "to repent"- which refers to the visible traces of an artist's revisions within a painting. For Dwyer, these transformations lie at the heart of her practice: painting becomes a process of layering and erasing, of burying and excavating, mirroring how memory and time shape both body and landscape. It includes an in-depth essay by author and Frieze Magazine Editor at Large Jennifer Higgie on the themes and processes of Dwyer's oeuvre in an international context, a text by Dr Yvonne Scott on Dwyer's connection to Ireland and to nineteenth- and twentieth-century art movements, and rich illustrations of the artist's works and exhibitions.
