<p>This first monograph of paintings by Romain de Plas arrives nine years after his untimely death. The seventy works reproduced here reveal the progression from de Plas's first mature paintings to the full flowering of his talent as he reached his early thirties. Written contributions by Agnes Gund, David Frankel, and Michael Whittaker Martin, as well as a recently discovered interview with the artist himself, place his work within a broader cultural context while revealing de Plas's unique personal history. Romain de Plas was born in Paris in 1971, and lived there until his family moved to New York City in 1980. When de Plas was seven years old, he suffered a devastating sledding accident resulting in extensive injuries to his face and skull, which required reconstructive surgeries at regular intervals over the next twenty-five years. It is against this background that he developed as an artist. De Plas studied liberal arts at Brown University and painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where he received his bachelor of fine arts degree in 1998. He lived and worked in New York, with regular extended returns to Paris, for the rest of his life. At the time of his accidental death in September 2002, de Plas had completed nine of eleven planned paintings of the World Trade Center. These remarkable pictures will be exhibited for the first time at the Museum of the City of New York, in conjunction with the tenth anniversary of 9/11. This volume highlights the natural alignment of this final body of work with de Plas's previous artistic explorations of his interior and exterior environments.</p>

<p>In COMING TO TERMS, attorney David Frankel tells the story of his survival of the mass shooting at the 101 California Street building in 1993 and the post-traumatic personal journey that transformed him from a gun control activist to a gun owners' rights advocate. David almost died on the 35th floor of San Francisco's 101 California Street building when a deranged gunman with three handguns burst in and started shooting there on July 1, 1993. The murderer killed several of David's close friends. Filled with anguish, David channeled his grief by getting involved with the gun control movement. But as David traveled across five states, a series of thought-provoking events triggered self-reflection and a reevaluation of his vulnerability and of the right to self-defense and to keep and bear arms. COMING TO TERMS examines David's journey from emotion-inspired ignorance and dependency born of fear to self-reliant enlightenment and individual empowerment. His is a journey filled with fear of being a victim, false hope in government, acceptance of vulnerability, reflection on the inability of laws to keep one safe, and, ultimately, acceptance of personal responsibility for one's own safety. In short, COMING TO TERMS tells the story of David's post-incident intellectual and emotional reckoning, and of his coming to terms with these realities.</p>
