Kenny Scharf: Moodz, Hardcover/Kenny Scharf

Variations on the face: downtown legend Kenny Scharf's permutational exploration of character This new book by cult artist Kenny Scharf (born 1958) debuts his latest body of work, MOODZ . Comprising more than 330 circular paintings of faces--each one different--this ensemble gives form to a population of moods, feelings, expressions and colors. Scharf explains that the characters reflect aspects of his own personality: some days he needs to release his aggressive energy and they may reflect his anger; other faces reflect his exuberance and love of painting. Organized chromatically, the publication gathers the entire series of MOODZ , as well as exhibition views and documentation related to the project. It features an essay by American gallerist and cultural figure Jeffrey Deitch. A poster (28 x 21.5 inches)--on which all the faces are reproduced together as if to form a color chart--accompanies the publication.
