INNER THE COLLECTED WRITINGS AND SELECTED INTER...

Sean Scully is among the greatest abstract painters of our age. He is also one of the most
outspoken. Since the late 1960s  Scully's visual expressiveness has been matched by a verbal
dynamism that is no less arresting than his art. Varying widely in form from brief reflections
of compressed eloquence to essay-long meditations on artists such as Vincent Van Gogh  Giorgio
Morandi and Mark Rothko-Scully's writings are distinguished by a brutal lyricism and the
effortlessness of their aphoristic turn of phrase. At once biographical and political  poignant
and unflinching  the nearly 200 texts that comprise Inner: The Collected Writings and Selected
Interviews of Sean Scully provide a unique perspective on one of the most engaging artistic
imaginations of the past half century. Here  readers will discover the effusions of a mind
tirelessly wrestling with the profoundest issues of art  cultural history  and what it means to
be a creator in the contemporary world. The volume will be accompanied by key images
illustrating Scully's words as well as facsimile reproductions of handwritten pages by the
artist into which drawings have been integrated. SEAN SCULLY (*1945  Dublin) is one of the most
famous artists of his generation. In addition to numerous exhibitions worldwide  he has been
honored with important awards such as the Guggenheim Fellowship and Harckness Fellowship.
