The Worlds of Hunt Slonem

Just in time for several major retrospectives, The Worlds of Hunt Slonem investigates the life and work of a fascinating artist. Once the enfant terrible of New York’s art world, Hunt Slonem (b. 1951) depicts both natural subjects—birds and butterflies—and portraits—voodoo saints and Abraham Lincoln—in his jubi­lant, singular paintings. Using multiplicity as a governing principle, Slonem has created a body of work as inimitable as it is recognizable. This in-depth monograph, which features more than 600 vibrant illustrations, reveals what informs and influences this original and enigmatic artist.
