| book description |

Thomas Raat's series of abstract paintings takes off from the cover designs of popular egghead paperbacks published from the late 1940s until the early 70s. The artist's repurposing of the predominantly abstract imagery of the jackets mediates an abstruse range of synthetic epistemologies (from freedom and responsibility to the law of civilization and decay) as well as the needs or demands of various book series and the branding orientations of the publishing houses that commissioned them. The essay by John C. Welchman, featured in the book, discusses how Raat's work operates at the technical interface between abstract painting and visual construction and on the generic borderlines between art, design and the history of ideas; and how his intervention precipitates a salient crisis in the signifying assumptions delivered to non-figurative compositionality in the mid-twentieth century-and its later reassessments.
