Description: Robert Kushner's aim as an artist has been "to please the eye and thereby satisfy the human soul." This magnificent new midcareer survey proves how well he has succeeded during twenty-five years that have included flamboyant early performance and fabric pieces; a period as a leader of the Pattern and Decoration movement; his return to the figure in the 1980s; up to his current concentration on flower and other still lifes of unmatched sensuality and opulence.

These recent works celebrate the cycle of creation and destruction, the fruition, decay, and renewal that compose the eternal rhythm of natural life.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 169-170) and index.
