Original Abstract

Monographic book of the American artist Stuarda Mead, which captures his professional career after the end of his studies at the Minneapolis College of Art in Minnesota after his latest creation in Berlin. Mead was a sensitive virtuoso who could have been a modern master capable of skillfully working with what remained of Surrealism, Suprematism, and Cubism, just like Gerhard Richter in Germany and Peter Howson in England. But in the middle of his artistic career, Stu ceased shaping artistic styles and, just like the disappointed Howson, who let himself be carried away by the bitterness of Christian messianism, Stu Mead started an exploration of his pleasures and fantasies, associated partly with his special bodily condition, in manner combining painterly skill with passion for pop cultural icon of american 50´s.
