Description: "Printed Matter Redesigned" is the title of a recent group of paintings by faux-primitive painter Michael Eastman. In this painting entitled "Book Jacket", Eastman offers an improvement for the cover of Margaret Mead's classic tome "Coming of Age in Somoa". Detail 1. Detail 2. Detail 3. Eastman often uses graffiti-like writing and faux-primitive marks in making his paintings. Since he enjoys aping the look of naive art, we place him in that category. But, Eastman's approach to his work is extremely cerebral and quite abstract--not at all the visceral spontaneity typical of a naif or outsider artist. Visit the Tribeca studio of Michael Eastman whose work is included in the collection of Hirshhorn Museum (Washington, DC).
