This volume surveys the sculpture of Roland Poulin. It brings together critical commentary, an annotated catalogue of Poulin's complete works, and an index of Poulin's exhibitions in the United States, Europe and Canada. Diana Nemiroff's account of Poulin's career covers his switch in material from cement to wood as well as past exhibitions, notable influences, and 16 sculptures and 23 companion drawings created between 1978 and 1993. She analyzes geometric tombs, altars and hearths implied in his work and describes his interpretation of the boundaries between the spiritual/material, fullness/emptiness, and life/death. Donald Kuspit links Poulin's obsession with death to his rebellion against 20th-century minimalism and describes the cultural/psychological dynamics embodied in his sculpture.
