Publisher's Synopsis
Young artist Paul P. has become internationally known for his haunting paintings and drawings of the faces and figures of young men, all sourced from pre-AIDS gay magazines. The artist mines this huge archive of figures and reimagines these young men with the aesthetic vocabulary of late 19th century art. Nonchaloir, the artist's first monograph, collects over 100 of these stunning portraits in a small, intimate volume. P.'s subjects and their poses, at times languishing, wistful or weary, are imbued with references to famed painters James McNeil and Whistler.
