<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>The court, the ball and the hoop: Barkley Hendricks paints basketball</strong></p><p>The third installment in Skira and Jack Shainman Gallery's five-volume overview of American artist Barkley L. Hendricks (1945-2017) explores the artist's relationship to basketball, which provided a significant source of artistic inspiration throughout his life. <p/>In his <i>Basketball</i> series, Hendricks applied his keen compositional sense and stylish use of color to depictions of the sport's essential elements: hoops, nets, backboards and, of course, basketballs themselves. In one painting, the image of a basketball about to make its way into a hoop is repeated twice on a round canvas; on another circular canvas, the iconic black ribs of a basketball are rendered in a bold orange to create a minimalistic yet instantly recognizable pattern. <p/>A study in movement and geometry, Hendricks' paintings offer a uniquely compelling perspective on the sport as an artistic pursuit. This book's focus on this aspect of Hendricks' work allows for a detail-oriented study of the artist's techniques as a painter. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A celebration of both sport and community, paintings like "Still Life #5" (1968), with an isolated orange basketball against a white backboard, or the backboard-triptych "Father, Son, and ..." (1969) also contain a sly humor, playing against the geometric abstraction of Western modernism and Christian religious paintings.--Martha Schwendener "New York Times"<br>
