Profusely illustrated with color images. "Carter emerged in the 1960s as one of the New Generation artists. The simplicity of his abstract works disguises a subtlety that extends to their definition as painting or sculpture. Solid geometry and drawn and painted illusion coexist in a dialectic of shape and space. The shapes of planar Euclidean geometry in Carter's work cause us to ask, what is vertical? Parallel? A half? The roots of Carter's work lie in a clash between postwar American art and formal European abstraction. Pop art and the Groupe de Recherche d'Art Visuel combined to influence his work. Yetton traces his development, from his formal interest in architecture and the imagery of commercial graphic art to the abstract universal geometry of more recent work. He places him in the context of European art and the postwar flowering of British art. VG/VG: Exlibrary book. Stamp and sticker on front free end page. Stamp, sticker, and due date card on back pasted end page. Stamp on top text block.
