This publication focuses on one of the key series in Shaw's corpus, in which he draws inspiration from the Anglo-American graphic design and illustrative tradition of cheap paperback books. Inspired by the artist's intense dreaming life, the \u003ci\u003ePaperback Covers\u003c\/i\u003e series (1996-2013) recreates the lurid imagery associated with pulp novels, with vertical canvases that depict fantastical and irreverent imagery: in one, a werewolf in suspenders is struck by an oncoming 18-wheeler; in another, a line of chorus girls dance in front of a vampire and a woman in red as the couple is in engulfed by flames. Though these \"books\" bear no text, Shaw's paintings evoke exciting narratives within a single image. All the inventoried \u003ci\u003ePaperback Covers\u003c\/i\u003e are collected in this softcover volume along with a text by Charlie Fox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 10.1 x 7.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 08, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47396393124018,"sku":"9783037645659","price":35.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/VIrEJzwSEg9783037645659.webp?v=1783578013","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/jim-shaw-paperback-covers-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
