A fascinating insight into the creation of Jack Whitten's pioneering artworks through this illustrated companion to his life and work.

'In the Studio: Jack Whitten' is an essential companion to the work of the pioneering African American artist, whose revolutionary approach to painting as a medium is widely considered to have changed the discipline. An elucidating new text by art critic Yinka Elujoba introduces Whitten’s pioneering practice — his relentless experimentation, unconventional tools and materials, and profoundly original oeuvre — while numerous archival images offer a uniquely intimate window into the artist’s process and inspirations. Covering Whitten’s entire six-decade career, 'In the Studio: Jack Whitten' offers a comprehensive introduction to the artist’s life and work.

Introducing

In the Studio

A new series from Hauser & Wirth Publishers, which takes readers behind the scenes of an artist at work. Each book focuses on a major figure of twentieth or twenty-first century art, offering an accessible, generously illustrated introduction to their practice.

The Artist

JACK WHITTEN

Born in Bessemer, Alabama in 1939, Jack Whitten is celebrated for his innovative processes of applying paint to the surface of his canvases and transfiguring their material terrains. Although Whitten initially aligned with the New York circle of abstract expressionists active in the 1960s, his work gradually distanced from the movement’s aesthetic philosophy and formal concerns, focusing more intensely on the experimental aspects of process and technique that came to define his practice.
