Considers well the life and work of American artist and Woodstock art colony founder Bolton Brown (1864-1936). "A detailed, informative, and fascinating account of a 'sensitive, opinionated, brilliant, difficult, and very complex man,' who became an unequaled craftsman in the art of crayonstone, a painter of ability, and a writer of importance. Brown's book Lithography for Artists (1930) was the standard work on artist's lithography for more than forty years. In writing of Brown's life, Adams has made extensive use of the artist's (long undiscovered) journals and unpublished manuscripts in the Bryn Mawr College Library, and the voluminous correspondence preserved by Brown's family and friends. Adams supplements his text with a comprehensive, annotated list of nearly four hundred of Brown's lithographs in major American collections and the British Museum." (dj). VG/VG .
