"This important critical study of Robert De Niro, Sr.'s life and work by art historian Peter Frank is the first major publication devoted to this great New York School painter. Frank writes, 'among the interlocking circles of representational painters working in New York...De Niro Sr. is legendary in his own right. He was one of the first to affirm painterly representation as an approach distinct from its European--and indeed American--antecedents. He was also one of the first to refine it in practice, both into a distinct personal style and into a broadly applicable technique.'" This extensive volume contains an essay and chapters on figures, still lifes, crucifixions, landscapes, poems, and articles, as well as a biography and chronology of the artist.
