Synopses & Reviews
Since his first solo exhibition at Peggy Guggenheim's "Art of This Century" gallery in 1945, American artist Charles Seliger (b.1926) has passionately pursued an inner-world of organic abstraction, celebrating the structural complexities of natural forms. This lavishly illustrated volume presents a visual history of Seliger's commitment to biomorphic abstraction and documents his extraordinary career from his auspicious beginnings as the youngest artist exhibiting with the original artists of the Abstract Expressionist movement, through the development of his signature style of complex and intimate abstractions.
