Summary

"This book focuses attention on Harold Weston, who should be a significant figure in the history of twentieth-century American art. The text's authors chart his artistic achievement, tracing five decades of stylistic growth, from rhapsodic expressionism to socially aware realism to nature-derived abstraction."--BOOK JACKET.
