David Kapp Working the Grid $50  $32.50 96 color plates, 11.25 x 10.75", hardcover

"Though not detailed or sharply focused, Mr. Kapp's paintings are almost photographic in the way they freeze action, crop the visual field at oblique angles and captured stark contrasts of glare and shadow. They have a dreamy, mildly hallucinatory air and a mood of Hopperesque melancholy… Mr. Kapp's angular compositions, decisive gestures and painterly energy reflect the harsh kinetic beauty of the city itself."
-The New York Times

"Much of the interest in Kapp's work stems from his mixed style, as he shifts effortlessly from abstraction to realism and back again… Kapp's art is both physical and conceptual, a material demonstration of painting's ability to represent, and at the same time, a reflection of the artist's awareness of intellectual aspects of art-making."
