Sean Scully: Bodies of Lights

Scully connects the Romantic sublime of 19th-century Northern Europe with the American abstract sublime of the 20th century. It is no coincidence that Scully himself - an abstract painter born in Northern Europe (Dublin, Ireland, 1945), who became an American citizen in 1983 and lives in New York, shares biographical traits with the artists he presents. This is the billingual edition of his critical text.
