Published by STANLEY/BARKER, the paintings in this beautiful 80-page book draw from a vast trove of cultural detritus — the tongue-in-cheek slogans of bumper stickers and needlepoint pillows to the sardonic quips of a misanthrope — Phillips toys with the disjuncture between his phrases and their visual representation, combining commercial fonts, brightly colored words, and faux ransom lettering with sordid messages of sex, suicide, inadequacy, and self-degradation.
