This major monograph offers a comprehensive assessment of his practice.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRenowned for his powerful portrayals of our collective culture and history, Wilhelm Sasnal draws on found images from his surroundings, newspapers and magazines, billboards, and the Internet, creating works of art that act as an archive to the mass of sprawling images that flood contemporary life. His work addresses weighty historical themes such as the Holocaust, or familiar pop-cultural icons, as well as the people, places, and quotidian objects he encounters, constituting an artistic document of postcommunist Poland at a time of sociopolitical transformation. With a concise approach to his subject matter, Sasnal captures stolen moments in time. His graphic treatment of light and color suggests a camera's gaze, imbuing the canvases with a filmic quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis major volume is completed by a series of essays addressing significant themes in the artist's work: alienation, portraiture, the personal versus the public, and history as a prism of reflection.\u003cb\u003eWilhelm Sasnal\u003c\/b\u003e (b. 1972) is a Polish painter, illustrator, and filmmaker. \u003cb\u003eBrian Dillon\u003c\/b\u003e is U.K. editor of \u003ci\u003eCabinet \u003c\/i\u003emagazine and teaches at the Royal College of Art, London. \u003cb\u003ePavel Pys\u003c\/b\u003e is Curator of Visual Arts at the Walker Art Center.\u003cb\u003e Adrian Searle\u003c\/b\u003e has been Art Critic for the Guardian since 1996. \u003cb\u003eKasia Redzisz\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Curator at Tate Liverpool. \u003cb\u003eAndrzej Przywara\u003c\/b\u003e is a curator, art critic, and art historian.
