Thomas Nast - The Artist in Color
The author fell in love with the artwork of Thomas Nast in 2006 and since has restored over sixty of his sketches and portraits, bringing them to life in color, including forty select images in this book. While researching the artist, she has undertaken the task of bringing to light anecdotal heretofore unrevealed facts about the artist, his family, and the life history that formed his political views. It is a story worth telling about a life worth living, the incomparable truth and integrity of an incorruptible man.The author is an amateur artist, a prolific writer, a political junkie, and a family history buff. Put these attributes together with an intense interest in the man that was Thomas Nast, and we have a book worth reading.
