Summary: The Red Box:The Phantasma-AllegoricalPortraitsof Stacy Lande
Review: This book is a must for anyone who appreciates the classical art of the nude where it meets modern day pop culture. The artist Lande has successfully combined Victorian fin-de-siecle and German expressionist sensibilities with the present day punk rock, demi-monde zeitgeist. These exquisitely painted erotic portraits, of people Lande has experienced in her Los Angeles night life experience, are confrontational, engaging and contemporaneous, while drawing upon historical references, most notably the art of Gustav Klimt. A must have for anyone interested in the Los Angeles Low Brow/Juxtapoz Magazine art scene of the early 21st century!
