Drawings and Digressions

New York: Clarkson N. Potter, 1979. Hardcover. VG ( May have slight tearing along front inner hinge OR DJ may have small tears at heel of spine; otherwise quite nice.). Green cloth, tan & color illus. dust jacket, 263 pp., 215 bw illus. and 70 color plates. Provides an intimate look inside the New York School and its best known member, Larry Rivers (1923-2002). Profusely illustrated with River's drawings and sketches. Rivers is considered by many scholars to be the "Godfather" and "Grand Father" of Pop art, because he was one of the first artists to really merge non-objective, non-narrative art with narrative and objective abstraction. This is a collection of his works from his long career. (Inventory #: 4500)
