The Art of Guy Chase

James Romaine, ed. (Square Halo Books, Baltimore, 2011), 131 pages

My essay “Visual Devotion: The Commentaries of Guy Chase” (pages 27 to 43) is one of five essays that analyze the work of the late Guy Chase, a conceptually oriented painter and collagist. The essay describes Chase’s methods, as he developed a body of work full of humor, questions, personal reflection, and critical art historical commentary.
