A chromatic study of faces and feeling

Kenny Scharf’s *MOODZ* gathers more than 330 circular paintings, each presenting a distinct face, into a visual population of expressions and colors. Scharf connects the characters to facets of his own personality, including anger and exuberance. The book organizes the complete series chromatically and adds exhibition views and project documentation, alongside an essay by Jeffrey Deitch. A foldout-size poster reproducing all the faces together extends the collection into a color-chart-like arrangement. The volume’s emphasis is on the range and variation within a single recurring form: the face.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in Kenny Scharf and contemporary art monographs
  • For those drawn to portraiture, expressive faces, and color-based visual series
  • For art-book collectors interested in exhibition documentation and an accompanying poster

Book overview

Variations on the face: downtown legend Kenny Scharf's permutational exploration of character

This new book by cult artist Kenny Scharf (born 1958) debuts his latest body of work, MOODZ. Comprising more than 330 circular paintings of faces--each one different--this ensemble gives form to a population of moods, feelings, expressions and colors. Scharf explains that the characters reflect aspects of his own personality: some days he needs to release his aggressive energy and they may reflect his anger; other faces reflect his exuberance and love of painting. Organized chromatically, the publication gathers the entire series of MOODZ, as well as exhibition views and documentation related to the project. It features an essay by American gallerist and cultural figure Jeffrey Deitch. A poster (28 x 21.5 inches)--on which all the faces are reproduced together as if to form a color chart--accompanies the publication.
