Published in an oversized format (11.25x11.25"), and filled with full-page color plates of the best quality, this beautifully produced work offers a retrospective of the American painter Gussow
(d.1997). Initial essays present the story of his life and influences. The paintings follow, grouped chronologically into oils, pastels, and watercolors, and accompanied by the painting's title
and date. The volume concludes with a list of paintings, a chronology, and lists of awards and exhibitions; it is not indexed. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
