Description and Table of Contents
Description
Providing both authorized biography and artistic analysis, this book draws on previously unpublished correspondence to describe the emergence of the American artist Fairfield Porter as a figurative painter in the post-war decades of Abstract Expressionism who struggled to achieve recognition. Porter's work is significant for its quintessentially American subject matter, and the book presents 280 paintings, prints and drawings as a kind of autobiography, for the artist's subjects were always himself, his family and friends, and the places where he lived.
