Amy Blakemore (b 1958) is renowned for her deceptively simple photographs of friends, family, and local landscapes. This book features images that evoke fleeting aspects of personality and memory and have been shown in numerous exhibitions, including the 2006 Whitney Biennial.
Presents three decades of artwork by John Alexander (b 1945), who draws upon his East Texas heritage to create art with a national impact. The authors show how the artist's frenetic expressionism gave way to an interest in figuration and narrative, and how his approach to genre painting gave voice to his outrage at social injustice.
