Paul Pagk. Edition bilingue français-anglais

This richly illustrated volume presents the most in-depth exploration to date of French American painter Paul Pagk's singular contribution to contemporary abstract painting. Known for his graphic, freehand geometries inscribed in luminous fields of color, Pagk has cultivated a quietly cosmopolitan sensibility shaped by a transnational upbringing in England, Austria, and France. Since settling in New York in 1988, he has steadily forged a visual language defined by spatial tension, formal and material clarity, and meditative restraint. Leading voices in art criticism and philosophy-Raphael Rubinstein, Molly Warnock, and Mériam Korichi-examine Pagk's work from diverse and revealing perspectives. In a text imbued with wit and insight, Adrian Dannatt offers "marginalia" on the artist's elusive persona and intellectual curiosity. Together, these contributions form a multifaceted portrait of an artist whose vibrant and contemplative practice continues to challenge and deepen our understanding of the medium of painting.
