Description
Book SynopsisThe first book on the preeminent African-American pop-artist of his generation, Chicago-born Hebru Brantley's work is hot and in demand in the art world, in the fashion world, in street style, and in the music world.
Trade Review"First gaining attention for murals painted all over his Chicago hometown of “Flyboy”—a kid rendered comic-book style in aviator goggles—pop artist Brantley has continued in that vein, with painting and sculpture depicting joyful representations of Black children at imaginative play. The book showcases his artwork, various exhibitions and installations, and his wide-ranging collaborations with, among others, Japanese fashion brand A Bathing Ape and the Chicago Bulls." —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"
Holiday Book Pick: ...a testament to the artist’s cultural omnivorousness." —NEW YORK MAGAZINE
"
Hebru Brantley ($55) is the first book dedicated to the Chicago pop artist and his aviator goggle-wearing kids you’ve seen all over the city. As a monograph, it’s half studio tour, half branding, and pretty charming." —CHICAGO TRIBUNE
