Summary:
"Philip Morsberger (born 1933) is a prolific painter who has worked and held influential teaching positions in America and Britain since the early 1960s. During his long career Morsberger has never been subservient to any one style of painting; his work has evolved through a number of distinct phases that have embraced realism, abstraction, and the American comic-strip tradition. Morsberger's most recent pictures, brimming with color and energy, blend abstract and narrative qualities. They are full of personal imagery, often based on the artist's childhood memories and humorous philosophy of life." "This study by Christopher Lloyd explores the themes and styles that have shaped Morsberger's career to date. It features eighty of the artist's most significant works, introduced with an insightful examination of his techniques and inspirations. A sensitive biographical portrait is accompanied by photographs of Morsberger throughout his life. Also included are eight personal appreciations by such significant contemporaries as R. B. Kitaj, Brian Aldiss, Jon Hassler, and William Tucker."--BOOK JACKET.
