The magical formal purity of Edward Marshall Boehm's porcelains ranks him with such masters of realism as Norman Rockwell and Andrew Wyeth. His extraordinary insight into and devoted study of nature is like Audubon. His technical wizardry in incomparable. This is the definitive volume on this great American artist and the Boehm studios. Palley's catalog includes his new, comprehensive numbering systems (with a key to the old system), which will soon become indispensable to collectors. This book contains a twenty-picture sequence with step-by-step descriptions showing Edward Marshall Boehm making a complex porcelain sculpture, from the initial sketching from life, through the molding, painting, and firing, to the finished masterpiece
