Lawrence C. Goldsmith: A Life In Watercolor FROM THE PUBLISHER
Lawrence Goldsmith's focus throughout his career never wavered from the enigmatic beauty of the watercolor. His personal approach was an organic one; by working with what he saw evolving on the paper, taking advantage of, and even creating "accidents," Goldsmith produced a body of work ranging from delicate, dreamy landscapes to masterful rock- and seascapes, particularly through his unerring sense of color and deft calligraphy. This monograph is the first comprehensive look at the life and watercolors of this influential American artist.
SYNOPSIS
Goldsmith, an influential American artist who began studying watercolor in 1939, has spent summers painting on Monhegan Island in Maine off and on since 1964. This attractive volume presents full-page color plates of his works in an oversized format (11.5x11.5"). Carl Little, who is the author of several books—including Edward Hopper's New England and The Watercolors of John Singer Sargent—provides an introduction. A chronology is appended.
