Title: Stone Roberts Paintings and Drawings
Description: "The paintings of New York-based artist Stone Roberts resemble those of the Old Masters, yet they are unmistakably contemporary. His work - primarily still lifes and figural scenes - has a wealth of narrative complexity, subtlety, and intriguing details. Roberts was trained in painting and drawing in Philadelphia and in Rome, and his works hang in public and private collections throughout America and Europe.

His meticulous handling of paint and allusions to themes found throughout the history of art reveal his traditional training, but it is his ability to inject into his realist work a mystery and commentary on modern society that sets Roberts apart from other artists of his generation.".

"Expanded and updated, with thirty-one additional color illustrations and the new introductory text by Klinkenborg as well as the original essay by Charles Michener, this new edition of Stone Roberts provides an understanding of the artist's sensibility and critical analyses of many of his sublime individual works."--BOOK JACKET.
