Taaffe became internationally known as part of the Appropriation art movement in the early eighties, combining abstract and ornamental art. Ever since, he has been developing an international vocabulary of abstraction, turning the ornamental art of very different cultures—Arabic, Celtic, Pre-Columbian, Asian, and many others—into a kind of “international ornamental art” within the quadratic confines of the canvas. In a world dominated by a tendency toward globalization, Taaffe proves to be a mediator between cultures, since his process emphasizes the individuality of each one.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-GB style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB\"\u003eThis monograph provides an overview of the artist’s entire oeuvre, with all works presented in full-page color plates.
