Individual artists, art monographs

The first large-scale survey of the important self-taught artist's work in 20 years, presenting

approximately sixty of Hawkins's lively paintings, drawings, and sculpture.

Although he has long held a place in the forefront of twentieth-century self-taught

artists, the Ohio painter William Lawrence Hawkins has recently received less than his

fair share of attention. This monograph will introduce Hawkins's exuberant paintings

to a wider audience at a time when more and more general museums are recognizing

the powerful appeal of America's self-taught artists. While focusing on the artist's most

aesthetically successful, confident, and characteristic works, the book will bring special

attention to his use of space, his collage practice, and his work in series, of which his

nine

Last Suppers

is perhaps the most extensive example.

Drawn from important public and private collections across the United States, the

monograph will include approximately fifty of Hawkins's most important paintings,

both well-known pieces and others rarely seen and it will cover all of Hawkins's favorite

subject matter, including cityscapes, landscapes, exotic places, animals, current events,

historic scenes, and religious scenes. It will also include a very rare assembled sculpture

and a selection of his large body of drawings.
