(CURRIN, JOHN). Currin, John & William Stover. Introduction by Cheryl Brutvan. Boston: The Museum of Fine Art, Boston, 2003. First Edition. 12mo. Illustrated Wrappers. Artist Monograph. As New.. 96pp, 40 color illustrations. "In this volume (the first in an occasional series published by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) the celebrated young figurative painter John Currin has selected some thirty works of portraiture, ancient to modern, from the MFA's permanent collection: evaluating them as one might a friend, enemy, or lover - subjectively, passionately, at times irrationally - but always with a visceral sense of connection and personal insight. Currin pairs these portraits, which in their juxtaposition become a composite self-portrait, with commentary on the works and the ways in which they relate to his own painting".
