Chosen Ones' is a comprehensive monograph on the work of German painter Bendix Harms, spanning over fifteen years of work. A repertoire of motifs recurs throughout the nearly 400-page volume, including birds, trees, airplanes, cars and the artist's profile, all rendered in loose, exuberant strokes of gray and muddy orange. Drawing on elusive autobiographical references, the paintings, whether of grotesque figures or more surrealistic scenes, are often humorous and suggestively narrative, compelling in their apparent disregard for and liberation from concept. The first major monograph on the artist, 'Chosen Ones' features texts by Gisela Corleis and Grace Dunham as well as black-and-white photographs by Harms, in addition to reproductions of more than 300 paintings.
