Summary

Generously illustrated, accessible, and affordable, the Modern Artists series is an essential reference for all those interested in contemporary visual culture. Jake and Dinos Chapman graduated from the Royal College of Art, London, in 1990 and began enraging and delighting gallery-goers worldwide soon after. The subversive wit and black humor that pervade their sculptures, installations, and works on paper is undercut by the meticulous labor required to complete many of their works. They've consistently earned the admiration of serious-minded critics for their knowing manipulation of art theory and meticulous craft. In Insult to Injury(2003), the Chapman brothers purchased a set of Francisco Goya etchings and then doctored them with hand-painted cartoon figures, breaking the ultimate artistic taboo by desecrating an acknowledged masterpiece. This, the first book to consider the entire career of Jake and Dinos Chapman, features a new interview with the artists and an examination of six key works in depth.
