Book Reviews of John Steuart Curry: Inventing the Middle West
Book Review: Definitive Tribute to an Important American Artist
Summary: 5 Stars
At last, John Curry has a book in print worthy of his art. Ms. Junker has suceeded in paying a noble yet sadly overdue tribute to this unique and often neglected artist. Curry's paintings capture the emotion and natural force of American scenes in a way that was very much his own. Works like "Tornado over Kansas" and the scene of John Brown in "A Tragic Prelude" embody some of the greatest expressions of conflict to be found in American art.
Summary of John Steuart Curry: Inventing the Middle West
This long-awaited volume marks the centennial of an important and controversial artist, one of the great American Regionalists. Essays cover every aspect of his life and work, and reproduce his finest paintings and drawings of farm life in Kansas, the circus, and the American scene in general.Artists, A-Z Books
