He is best known for his down-to-earth scenes of humble characters in urban environments—a butcher shop, a diner, a local cinema. The familiarity of such mundane surroundings makes Segal's work, at first glance, look deceptively simple. However, as Phyllis Tuchman persuasively explains in her lively and enlightening text, the apparent simplicity of Segal's sculpture masks a rich complexity of meaning. More recent and more colorful work—including the bronze monuments, fragments, and pastels—are also thoroughly represented in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Abbeville's\u003ci\u003e Modern Masters \u003c\/i\u003eseries:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nWith informative, enjoyable texts and over 100 illustrations—approximately 48 in full color—this innovative series offers a fresh look at the most creative and influential artists of the postwar era.
