Taxi Driver is one of the major films of the 1970s, which established Martin Scorcese's reputation as a prominent American director. This new edition of Taubin's study is published in the Film Classics 20th anniversary series of special editions, with a new foreword by Amy Taubin, and a stunning new jacket design by Marc Atkins.
Focusing on the evolution of James Nares' artistic journey, this monograph highlights his transition from experimental Super 8 films and live performances in the No Wave art scene to his innovative painting techniques using handmade brushes. His monumental strokes exhibit a three-dimensional quality, showcasing his exploration of physicality, motion, and time. Notably, his acclaimed 2011 video "Street" reflects these themes and has been exhibited in prestigious institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
