Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a deep dive into the history of Robert Atterbury, an American painter whose work was largely unrecognized until late in his life. However, the author argues that Atterbury's simple, solemn compositions, which were once stigmatized as crude and grotesque, are now more prized than the smoothest and most brilliant mural paintings of his contemporaries. The author traces the evolution of the artist's career as well as the development of his signature style, ultimately positioning Atterbury's work within the context of broader art movements of the past and present. Throughout, the author includes evocative quotes from Atterbury's letters which bring the story of his life and work to life. This multifaceted overview presents a deeply personal insight into this underappreciated artist and at the same time invites readers to question their own perceptions of beauty and artistic merit.
