Todd Schorr: Dreamland | Art Book


Dreamland is a collection of Todd Schorr’s best work to date. Todd Schorr’s formative years were spent surrounded by the atomic and space ages; by Saturday morning cartoons and racks of comic books; by Revell models, Mad Magazine, Testors glue, Mickey Mouse, and Rat Fink. The compulsion to replicate these images led to a formal art education and exposure to a new set of influences drawn from the world of advertising and commercial art. Hardcover in slipcase.

Drawing on a wide cultural arsenal including folklore, fairy tales,  pop culture, and fantastic tales from the past, Schorr tempts and teasers  viewers with visually sumptuous alternate realities that are at once right at hand and yet ultimately  locked within his masterful grasp.  Until the mystical travel agent is located and coerced, the glimpses provided by Schorr’s paintings will have to suffice.
