DAVID RAPPENEAU

American Art Catalogues presents the first monograph by artist David Rappeneau.“...And I’ve got this new book of David’s drawings. Still ravished, still haunted. Jimmy showed me his work ages and ages ago. Was it in Brussels or in Paris? Lost time. We got high in the park afterwards, which is what we did best. We gave the gargoyles funny names. Left my shopping bags in the graveyard Jimmy said something about Bernini. I said, Miaow. I said, It’s like Peyton but hot, and anime and PornHub vids and Gothic illustrations all making out together. I want, I love!I was just gonna do a heartbroken, mood board-ish Instagram story where I juxtaposed a Schiele drawing with something by David— Egon’s Standing Woman in Red, maybe, from 1914— loop ‘Agora Hills’ by Doja Cat over the top and caption it, ‘Ow, it hurts!’ Like, be all enigmatic like that, but fuck it, I’ve got nothing else to do.” - Excerpt from And the Infinite Sadness by Charlie Fox.Generously illustrated with 161 drawings selected by the artist, this self-titled monograph is printed in a limited edition of 1,000 copies.
