"I know that for a while I didn't see how deeply personal these pictures were or, to say it another way, how much they have the flavor --Duchamp might have said the 'scent' --of particular human life, because I had been told and wanted to be-lieve that LG was never subjective, I think that it was Edward Munch who said the soul can get to heaven in one leap but that, if it does, it leaves a demon in its place, Sink down through the levels of these pictures --their attention to the year, their ideas about it, the particular human con-sciousness the pictures reflect LG's profound immediacy and sense of verve." - Jenny SaybaughThis volume is a photographic document of a Williams performance / action in a book. It is a necessary volume for anyone interested in this important artist's work. It also provides valuable resource material for art historians, and scholars, regarding the artist and West Coast American Avant-garde Art in the late 20th and early 21st century. Since the early 1990’s LG Williams has staged "actions," ritualistic performances meant to produce the unity of art and life, which Williams repeatedly proclaims and sought. Besides his writings, drawings, paintings, sculptures, press releases, objects and teaching, these actions are considered by many to be the most mysterious, most elusive part of the artist’s immense body of work. Seymour Howard Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, University of California, Davis, best known for his work on the 18th century sculptor and restorer Bartolomeo Cavaceppi, has sustained a life-long interest in the Classical Tradition.LG WILLIAMS is the Emma Hennings Distinguished Professor of Visual Art and Art History at D(D).DDDD University in Honolulu, Hawaii.
