JOHN CYLMER An Artist's Rendezvous With The Frontier West

John Clymer is one of this country's preeminent painters of the American West. This beautifully created and produced volume on Clymer and his art includes more than sixty full color plates of his finest paintings, numerous black and white reproductions of his superlative pen and ink drawings, and a well-researched text incorporating much personal commentary by Clymer on his life and work. In 1964 John Clymer left behind a long and distinguished career in commercial illustration to devote all his time to rendering the subjects he loves most: the people, animals and history of the Pacific Northwest. What followed from this concentrated effort was an extraordinary series of paintings depicting the history of that region in meticulous detail, a superb visual record which has since won him every major award in the field of western art. All of these award-winning works are reproduced in the extensive portfolio section of this handsome volume, which also includes a historically accurate description of each painting. An Artist's Rendezvous With the Frontier West is the graphic evolution of a man whose place in American art is assured. It is also a unique and beautiful documentation of an important era in American history which will be referred to and enjoyed by generations to come. Out Of Print. Condition: Fine.
