Description: New York: The Artist Book Foundation, 2013. 31cm., hardcover, 143pp. illus., most in color. Summary : This intriguing monograph of early work by New York artist Robert Kipniss (born 1931) provides an intimate look at a memorable period in his life and career. Paintings and Poetry, 1950–1964 is the result of many arduous months of revisiting his writing from more than half a century ago--poems that were stashed away and essentially forgotten--from the years in which his painting first began to receive recognition. “Some of the poems are straightforward, some are infused with surreal irony, and some are angry,” says Kipniss. Methodical from inception to completion, these unpublished poems are beautifully choreographed with his early paintings in this contemplation of the influential and foundational years from 1950 to 1964. “When I stopped writing [in 1961] my vision was no longer divided between word-thinking and picture-thinking: these approaches had merged and in expressing myself I was more whole,” reflects Kipniss.
