Michael Smith/ Drawings: Simple, Obscure, Obtuse

Drawings: Simple, Obscure and Obtuse, chronicles a lifetime of drawings by performance/video/installation artist Michael Smith. Smith is best known for his alter ego, "Mike," whose blend of satisfaction and yearning, humor and pathos make him an all-American anti-hero. This book gives a keyhole view into Smith's production and process with sketches, notations, diagrams and storyboards, many if which have never before been exhibited or published. Softcover. 2008.
