Dunlap

When critics have attempted to pin him down, William Dunlap has called what he does "hypothetical realism". "These places and situation don't exist, but they could" he says. As this book demonstrates, the artist and his work resist classification. Images of animals, flowers, Old Masters, found objects, and artifacts explode from traditional, pastoral landscapes. Dunlap creates surreal, disturbing, and sometimes humorous interpretations of the American landscape. He is a pre-eminent portrayer of place. His work is featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and in US embassies around the world. "Dunlap" includes more than 100 full-colour reproductions and features work from every stage of a career spanning three decades.
