Jonas Wood: Portraits

This book was published on the occasion of Jonas Wood: Portraits at Anton Kern Gallery, New York. A ten-year survey of the artist’s portrait paintings and works on paper, the exhibition gathered depictions of subjects ranging from artist friends, self-portraits, familial gatherings, and intimate domestic moments to sports and cultural figures. Illustrated in full cover, the eighty-six works in the catalogue are characterized by Wood’s familiar combination of graphic stylization, bright color, and captivating detail—a blend of realism and abstraction that accessibly combines personal mythology with collective identity.
