Kenny Scharf MOODZ

This 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.
