Amorphous Amoebae Harold Klunder

About this book

This monograph offers a critical and biographical study of Canadian visual artist, Harold Klunder, focusing most specifically on paintings created between 1995 and 2007. Fifty colour images of artworks and documentary shots of the artist in his studio accompany the text. A discussion of Harold Klunder’s ambiguous position between abstraction and figuration, a brief history of his print-making, as well as an analysis of the artist’s compositional methodologies using the metaphor of the children’s string game – cat’s cradle – constitute the key themes of Campbell’s text. This publication asserts Klunder’s reputation as one of the country’s most accomplished and respected painters.
