The Art of Tom Lovell: An Invitation to History

Lovell's paintings thoughtfully conceived, intensively researched, and superbly drafted reconstruct scenes and stories of the American West and of the Civil War with humanity and imagination. This collection is accompanied by dramatic, story-telling captions and narrative which elucidate the themes and context of the artwork. The art and text make a powerful combination not to be missed by those who love Western art, of course, but also appealing to those whose tastes don't usually turn to that genre. 9.25x12" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
