1979117 unnumbered pages. Fifty-two glossy full-page colour reproductions of paintings by William Tull. Each painting accompanied by a brief description. "There are those who would vainly try to categorize William Tull as a Southwestern painter - or even as a contemporary classical impressionist. It is true that many of his paintings use the southwest as subject and background; and many do evoke the architecture and spirit of the Pueblo Indian as man in harmony with the earth. On very broad terms he belongs to the school of American Impressionists. But still, you can't categorize Tull, nor his paintings. So critics and laymen alike are left, quite simply, with this: the sheer, unadulterated joy of experiencing the vitality and robustness of life in a Tull painting." - Bill Byron. Light wear to clean and unmarked book which is bound in attractive cream-colored cloth. Slight bow to front board. Binding tight. Average wear to dust jacket which is now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A quality copy.
