Description:
Edwin Dickinson (1891-1978) was a representational painter highly regarded by his abstract expressionist contemporaries. In addition to landscapes, nudes, still lifes, figures, and portraits, he is best known for his ambitious, multifigured compositions of enigmatic and fantastic content, in the tradition of such American mystical artists as Albert Pinkham Ryder. This first monograph in more than thirty-five years covers all of Dickinson's finest work, including his "premier coups, " landscapes done in the first rush of inspiration.
