Hendricks (1945-2017) explores the artist's relationship to basketball, which provided a significant source of artistic inspiration throughout his life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his \u003ci\u003eBasketball\u003c\/i\u003e series, Hendricks applied his keen compositional sense and stylish use of color to depictions of the sport's essential elements: hoops, nets, backboards and, of course, basketballs themselves. In one painting, the image of a basketball about to make its way into a hoop is repeated twice on a round canvas; on another circular canvas, the iconic black ribs of a basketball are rendered in a bold orange to create a minimalistic yet instantly recognizable pattern. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA study in movement and geometry, Hendricks' paintings offer a uniquely compelling perspective on the sport as an artistic pursuit. This book's focus on this aspect of Hendricks' work allows for a detail-oriented study of the artist's techniques as a painter. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hendricks, Barkley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788857241487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.60w x 0.50d","brand":"Barkley Hendricks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33052719185995,"sku":"9788857241487","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_1d3c78d7-9d6e-430d-98bb-76cf96f43f45.jpg?v=1612228121","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/barkley-l-hendricks-basketball-9788857241487","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
