Eddie Martinez: Paintings Details
Brooklyn-based artist Eddie Martinez (born 1977) has received much critical acclaim over the past few years. Cartoonish and energetic, his expressive paintings (both abstract and figurative) often employ a loosely fixed cast of forms--such as flowers, tabletops, shoes and, most recently, bent yellow columns and white horizons. These works conjure the rough, vivid execution of a Basquiat, a Gorky or a Guston. Martinez works in series, reprising these forms over several (usually large-scale) canvases. This book, the first substantial monograph on the artist, documents the last six years of Martinez’s output, reproducing 200 works in color and grouping them thematically, by animals, flowers, tabletops, still lifes and portraits.

Reviews
I love this book. Eddie Martinez's work is fantastic, and this book presents his work from the early 2000s to the present by theme. It's FULL of paintings, rather than being half composed of some overly verbose essays like other artists monographs these days. The writing that is included in the book is nice and succinct and adds to the experience of Eddie's work. If you like Eddie Martinez, this is a great book to keep on your shelf.
