Things Are Really Getting Better

by Barry McGee

After flipping through the pages of this catalogue-cum-artists book, there will be little doubt that the title chosen by McGee for this book speaks the truth. It was, after all, the painter and graffiti artist who said compelling art to me is a name carved into a tree. Sometimes a rock soaring through a plate of glass can be the most beautiful, compelling work of art I have ever seen. Unfortunately no broken glass appears in this completely illustrated edition, however the reader is treated to an absolute celebration of hallmark illustrations, drawings, photographs, installation pieces and graphic incursions produced by this painter and graffiti artist.
