Title: Lance Letscher: Collage
Description: Austin, TX, University of Texas Press, 2009. Hardcover. Quarto. Hardcover. Illustrated boards in illustrated jacket. 213 pages : color illustrations ; 31 cm. This book examines the artwork of Lance Letscher who precisely cuts and recombines scraps of old books and letters, children's school exercises, recipes, album covers, and other ephemera into motifs that suggest forms abstract and representational. In these collages, which vary from small works on paper to elaborate constructions as large as nine by fourteen feet, he emerges as a skilled colorist and abstractionist who allows blocks of color and fragments of phrases to open up intriguing avenues of memory and association. This book presents a catalog of 118 works dating from 2001 to 2008, accompanied by essays that explore Letscher's artistic development and place in contemporary art. VG.
