Summary

"Contrasts That Complement: Eileen Monaghan Whitaker & Frederic Whitaker takes you into their lives. Both as artists and as real, down-to-earth people, they would love to chat with you about matters artistic - or whatever matters in life. Through these pages, you will find yourself eager to be part of that conversation. You will see their contrasts, such as the basic one, why they paint: Frederic, to communicate with the average man and take him into his confidence, and also to share his own talents; Eileen, to express herself. First and foremost, "I must please myself!" And you will see that, whatever the contrasts, each is the perfect complement to the other."--BOOK JACKET.
