Editorial Reviews
This expanded and updated edition of an in-demand, out-of-print title includes over 80 letters written between artists Lyonel Feininger (1871-1956) and Mark Tobey (1890-1976), from the time of their first meeting in 1944 to Feininger's death in 1956. An essay by Peter Selz, entitled "Parallel Visions," offers an introduction to the artists' friendship, and a chronology further clarifies their intersecting lives. Two brief reciprocal catalogue essays--one by Feininger about Tobey, and one by Tobey about Feininger--conclude the volume. Several paintings discussed in the letters are reproduced as color plates, along with a selection of the letters themselves.Customer Reviews
From the artists view, 2008-02-23
by Bill Rhoades
An insightful view from the artists themselves. Interesting perspective on galleries, other artists and shared frustrations regarding the community as a whole. Highly recommended for anyone who wants more than an academic or critical opinion of the art scene.
A pleasure for anything in print about Mark Tobey., 2007-02-09
by Marc Leavitt (Belfast, ME USA)
I am a big fan of Mark Tobey (especially). Reading the correspondence lets one "get in on" the spirit of two artists at work. I wish the color reproductions were presented throughout the text instead of at the end pages. I don't know whether I would call this book "great" for a library, but I am pleased it opens a window on the artists' relationship and personal visions.
