All are in eye-popping color: many depict a crowd in observational tableaux, each figure a character by virtue of dress, body language, and interactions with each other, animals, and their setting. Other paintings reflect Colwell's wide travels, and still others are surreal -- such as \"Junior and the Legs\" (2023), which shows a young man strumming a guitar on stage, accompanied by disembodied women's limbs. Each image has a narrative and a moral purpose--often, one figure bravely moves forward, despite a hostile crowd. In Guy Colwell's world, no individual could ever be an island, just another part of a rich ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThematically, then, it is fitting that this book was made possible by a group of his collectors, who are sponsoring the show\/Guy Colwell retrospective \"Imaginary Reality,\" from which this book is created, in an independent space. \u003cem\u003eGo Figure\u003c\/em\u003e is in an 11\" X 11\" format, to best feature the high-quality reproductions of these numerous critically praised works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 11.1 x 10.94 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 03, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460994842877,"sku":"9798875000973","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/0Uk4r-LNe09798875000973.webp?v=1777256546","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/go-figure-figurative-social-surrealist-paintings-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
