From the Introduction by Peter Frank: "Howe navigates a geometic abstraction descended directly from Picasso, Bracque, Kandinsky and Klee. He infuses it not just with life, but with liveliness to sustain that tradition as a living, viable discourse. Howe pushes the appearance of a utilitarian object as far as possible into the realm of 'pure' art." The book contains color photo illustrations of 185 examples of the artist's work, and includes essays by Antonio Argüelles, Matias Marcier, and Manolo Mestre. Also: a list of individual and selected group exhibitions that have featured his work; selected public and corporate collections containing his work; and a bibliography (without much detail). The text is in English, Spanish, and German.
