Publisher's Synopsis
The resulting image renders the original monochrome of the construction paper an arresting field of intricately textured black-and-white static. Produced in conjunction with an exhibition of Short's work at the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago, Blue presents all the steps involved in the creation of a single piece of this art. In its reconstruction of Short's method of composition, Blue is essentially an artist's workbook, explanatory yet hypnotic, and it will appeal to all fans of abstract contemporary art.
