Ben Schonzeit

the long version

"Stunning in their initial impact, resonant in the stories they relate, Ben Schonzeit's big, vibrant canvases leap from the pages of this lavish volume, offering one moment of delight after another. Renowned as a gifted draftsman and colorist, Schonzeit has built a rich vocabulary of images from an international career spanning nearly four decades. From the sculptural three-dimensionality of his gorgeous still-lifes of flowers to witty parodies of artists such as Degas and Corot and cinematic explorations of his own dream world, Schonzeit creates paintings of breathtaking clarity and stillness."--BOOK JACKET.
