Author: Yektai, ManoucherIranian American artist and poet Manoucher Yektai was a founding member of the New York School of Abstract Expressionism. His practice was shaped by his interactions with de Kooning, Pollock and Rothko as much as by Iranian modernism. This second monograph on the artist spans works from his 'Body of Landscape' series, and features a plate section that highlights the lushness of Yektai’s signature impastos. Includes essays by Suzanne Hudson and Paul Galvez.As poet James Schuyler wrote of this series in 1959: “Nothing is literally described but all is there: openness, greenness, the pink and wrecked look of New York as it often shows itself nowadays, Berlin-on-Hudson, glamorous and condemned.” ISBN 9781961883192.
