Collectible SIGNED 1st Edition 1st Printing hardcover IN DUST JACKET. VERY SCARCE BOOK ESPECIALLY SIGNED BY THE ARTIST. , , "The author, a renowned artist & private art teacher, shows in this book how to simply & forcefully draw both realistically & in the abstract. Alfred Gwynne Morang (1901-1958) received private schooling and violin lessons at his family home in Maine. When he was 16 he sought instruction from Impressionist Carrol S. Tyson and landscapist Henry B. Snell. In the 1920s, Morang lived in Boston and worked as an artist, illustrator, music teacher and fiction writer. He relocated to Santa Fe in 1938 after contracting tuberculosis, and the landscape inspired him to focus completely on painting. Morang was a polymath who played the violin, wrote short stories that were published in national magazines, and painted. Many of Morang's paintings are like a visual diary of Santa Fe in the 1940's and 1950's and have a raw sense that echo the city's spirit at that time. Technically his paintings are informed by impressionism and postimpressionism, many painted thickly with a palette knife. The best of his work can rival that of the French masters he admired." , , Illustrated with drawings. Internally tight & unmarked.
