Master of Illusion: The Magical Art of Gary Erbe
Master of Illusion: The Magical Art of Gary Erbe traces the artist’s career from his early trompe l’oeil works to his more recent paintings that combine trompe l’oeil realism with modernist tendencies. Inspired by popular culture, Erbe’s subjects range from nostalgic images of childhood pursuits and national pastimes, to American jazz and the golden age of 1950s radio, television, and film, to American history, nationalism, and contemporary social issues. Painted from carefully crafted constructions of objects belonging to our shared American experience, Erbe’s work is at once aesthetically complex and profoundly engaging.
