With 110 color illustrations from major museums and private collections, the book examines the artist's work in depth, from his early, unformed beginnings to his mature new York City and European images. Extensive excerpts from his correspondence with Duncan Phillips and from press articles and reviews are also included."--BOOK JACKET.
