Condition Continued: You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It's very clean. There are no tears. There's some crinkling at the spine ends, a few random scratches. There isn't any print on the flaps. They are very clean. There's a little crinkling at their outside corners. The large jacket will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned.

Self-published; Printed and bound in Canada by Art Bookbindery. Hardcover in Dust Jacket. By Renée Rosen with foreword by Beth Rosen. First Edition (NAP). Signed on the title page ( 'Stay Connected! Renée Rosen' ).

'Connections is the title of Renee Rosen's retrospective art book. It is also the motivating force behind more than a half-century of her work. Rosen finds connections with her Abstract Expressionist mentors, and the working-class immigrant Brooklynites she grew up with. Looking inward while reaching out, her work raises eternal questions and engages change. Issues are broached, sometimes in a subtle, underlying way, sometimes with a stark vision of bold truths.  Rosen struggled with the distance of modernism, ultimately inventing a unique visual stew of intuitive abstractions, integrated with the representational ideals of Social Realism. This is her zeitgeist: Art connecting to Life.'

From the New York Times: 'Renée Rosen communicates a sense of dislocation in the human condition by her original use of fragmentation. Her arresting images of disassociation proliferate, reinforcing the impression that life as we know it, is fundamentally at odds with itself.'
