1: One of the best portrait painters,period.
Clemente is one of my favorite painters of our lifetime, with his gritty, honest objectivity of human and nature, and his indulgent use of color. I'm rather drawn to his portraits, with their drippy brushstrokes and all-consuming perspectives. Some of the content in this book is graphic on content, which is why I decided to put this one out on the coffee table for the in-laws peruse ;)

2: Actually Superior to a Retrospective
For those intrigued by Clemente, this may be the best book. The huge retrospective volume published from the Guggenheim exhibit does not necessarily contain as many of his better works as it should and can really leave you frustrated. There are paintings in here that are quite beautiful and they are often enhanced by the photographs that show them in the studio context. The photography is excellent and the book well done. Highly recommended and a good deal to boot.

3: fransesco clemente: painter of life.
he's an amazing artist, one of the best ever. period. i could sit here and describe for you, in excrutiating detail, the appeal of his use of color/contrast, the manner in which his forms are represented, and other such compliments. however, i will cut myself short, and simply say that his work propogates emotion like no other, and i hope everyone gets a chance to look at his creative vision at least once before they die. this book is a good way to make that happen.

4: A rare, informative glimpse at a talented, reclusive artist.
Lucia Babini's photos accompany Ricard's essay on the life of Francesco Clemente, published simultaneously with a major retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum. Splendid full-page color photos of his works provides in-depth access to the Italian painter, creating a catalog which stands alone and provides a rare glimpse of the reclusive artist.
