Considers well the life and work of Jewish American painter Philip Evergood (1901-1973). Based on the artist's personal papers, interviews with acquaintances, and examination of his work. "Whenever an artist is more appreciated by fellow artists than by the critics or general public, it is often a signal that his or her work embodies special qualities. This is certainly the case with Philip Evergood. Highly respected, indeed revered by other artists of his generation, Evergood was always viewed as an especially talented artist by his contemporaries, but has nonetheless remained on the periphery of recognition and acclaim. The intent of this book is to remedy this lack of critical attention. [Its] well-documented and thorough study encourages readers and viewers alike to look again at the work of this highly individual and creative artist." (dj).
