JESSE WAUGH

the long version

Illuminated in this monograph are over six hundred illustrations demonstrating the results of his attempts to create beauty. Beginning with an overview of his film and image works, and expanding into an encyclopaedic survey of his efforts in a variety of genres, JESSE WAUGH: Portrait of an Artist and His Strivings for Pulchrism offers a complete guide to the accomplishments of an emerging artist. Spanning periods spent in a vast range of locations, an identifiable style begins to crystallize, which links seemingly disparate expressions, heedless of media employed. A forthright, earnest, and earthy vein courses through the works of Jesse Waugh, as he endeavors to deliver pulchritude manifest. A majority of the works featured are presented in approximate chronological order in their respective chapters. Media categories are exhibited in general groupings. The compendium concludes with The Pulchrist Manifesto, which should serve to define the art movement which has been inaugurated by Jesse Waugh.
