2011ref. 159646New York: Rizzoli 2011. Hardcover. VG no writing or marks. Color-illus. boards with peach spine. 172 pp. with color images throughout. The first monograph on the popular New York-based artist Will Cotton best known for his large-scale portraits of female nudes in candy-coated dreamlike landscapes. Will Cotton is best known for his depictions of “landscapes” composed of sweets: fondant frostings peppermint sticks marshmallows and cotton-candy clouds often inhabited by languidly posed females. Executed with flawless skill and technique Cotton’s work is an optical delight and is formally resonant with the influences of seventeenth-century rococo paintings the nudes of Bouguereau and Cabanel and the classic American pin-ups of George Petty and Alberto Vargas. Cotton’s figures are often inspired by models such as burlesque performers and fellow artists from the art film and music worlds. This book is a celebration of Cotton’s work in all mediums: prints drawings canvases and public events. In addition to this elegantly designed trade volume a limited edition of one hundred copies accompanied by a signed and numbered print will be available through Pace Prints. Rizzoli hardcover books
