- Summary
- "In 1958, after seeing a large posthumous exhibition of paintings by William Hollingsworth, Jr., at the Jackson Municipal Art Gallery, Eudora Welty wrote this critical appreciation. It appeared in a local newspaper, never reprinted until now." "This keepsake book uniting these two acclaimed Mississippi artists and their work gives the pleasure of encountering Welty as an art critic and of relishing an astonishingly talented painter she admired.".
- "Accompanying Welty's essay are a dozen full-color plates of Hollingsworth paintings she specifically mentions or to which she alludes. An afterword puts the work of Hollingsworth and Welty in the context of time, place, and circumstance. A chronology detailing his many prizes and exhibitions shows Hollingsworth as a rising star whose life was cut short.".
- "Just as the Great Depression struck the nation, both artists were finishing their educations in big cities - Welty at Columbia University in New York, Hollingsworth at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago."--BOOK JACKET.
