They work better as an erotic and personal tribute, one that draws on the artist's childhood in a Bruins-worshiping Boston suburb; the neo-Classical figuration of Jacques-Louis David; and the overt sensuality of pre-Stonewall 'athletic' films.\" This slim, beautifully produced, bright yellow linen-bound exhibition catalogue with tipped-on cover image features some of the most strangely arresting male nudes on canvas today. Ranging from life-sized, full-frontal portraits of a nude Cary Grant at home in his suave, mid-century-movie-star manse (2001-2003) to the artist's most recent portraits of god-like, real-life Canadian hockey stars of the 1960s and 70s, this volume presents work that is perverse, liberated and rightly hilarious alongside essays by Wayne Koestenbaum and Pepe Karmel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67769781223712,"sku":"NEW0977868680","price":56.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71nkrZv01CL.jpg?v=1792008703","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/kurt-kauper-paintings-2001-2007-0977868680","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
