Author Michael Stipe, the artistic polymath behind R.E.M., explores the enduring power of portraiture in this compelling volume. Following a celebrated musical career spanning from 1990 to 2011, Stipe returns to his first love, visual art. This, his fourth publication, focuses primarily on portraiture, blending photography, illustration, and sculpture. Working across classical and conceptual styles, he constructs a cohesive visual narrative from varied mediums — a body of work that feels both familiar and disarmingly new. 96 pages.
