Kitaj is a complex and controversial artist who is one of the most important figural painters of the late 20th century. This monograph is the result of a close collaboration between artist and author and includes a review of Kitaj's work.
I borrowed this book from the library as another book had mentioned Kitaj and I had never heard of him. This book covers a wide range of his works, with large pictures of the works. Livingstone has written about the artist and the artist has written comments to some of his works. All in all a good book to fill you out on Kitaj. Unfortunately, his works don't appeal to me, except for a few, but YOU might like them and this book will tell you about them. So go read it!
