Catalogue Raisonné: Selected Artworks (2011–2013)

Description

LG Williams' oeuvre underwent several transformations over the decades. Probably the most incisive of these was his encounter with Hawaiian culture, which led to Williams's retreat from the New York art scene: from 1990 on, he lived in Hawaii and shuttled between Waikiki and Los Angeles. The world of Hawaiian gods, bright Pacific light, and the history, literature, and mythology of Asian and Pacific Island cultures found their way into his art. On ever larger canvases, the drama of mankind was transformed into a sensual and poetic vision of color, drawing, and form. Editor Weiner Faustian has now completed the third volume of our Catalogue Raisonné, covering the years from 2011—2013. It includes, among other works, the series of monumental paintings that occupied the artist during this pivotal period of his career.
