"Ralph Fasanella (1914-1997) was a self-taught painter whose body of work is one of the most compelling artistic critiques of post-World War II America. His paintings - bold, colorful, loaded with detail yet unified in composition - speak powerfully of a distinct working-class identity and culture, and of the dignity of labor. This profusely illustrated volume, which inclues sixty color images of Fasanella's paitings as well as numerous personal photographs, provides the first comprehensive look at the life and career of this important American artist." - dust jacket description.
