Exhibited across the United States, France, Morocco, and Greece since the late 1980s, William MacKendree s award-winning paintings have been purchased by prominent institutions, including the Neue Galerie and Paris s iconic Centre Pompidou. Influenced by recent postmodernists as well as such disparate twentieth-century painters as Edward Hopper and Philip Guston, MacKendree s earliest works are marked by the juxtaposition of powerful linear configurations against vast expanses of canvas. From these early linear creations, MacKendree worked toward the development of a vocabulary of signs, which is evident in his later art featuring motifs from the urban environment and natural world.The first book to comprehensively examine MacKendree s more than two-decade career, "William MacKendree: Vinyl Vocabulary" includes an essay by Alain Mousseigne, as well as an interview by art journalist Laurie Hurwitz, reflecting on his themes.".
