Edwin Dickinson: A Critical History of His Paintings

Featuring 19 color plates and 65 b&w illustrations, this text critically examines the imagery, process, and pictorial structure of works by American painter Edwin Dickinson (1891-1978). Drawing upon 56 years of the artist's journals and several thousand pages of his letters, Ward makes connections between the personal losses suffered by Dickinson and the melancholy tone of much of his work. Ward teaches art history and painting at the U. of Florida. Distributed by Associated University Presses. Annotation 穢2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
