Description
From the publisher: "Ross Bleckner, well known for his large-scale canvases, has for years used watercolor as both a means and an end to painting. While Bleckner's works in oil deal primarily with remembrance and loss, his watercolors are symbolic of transformation and transcendance. The beautifully reproduced images in this book reveal the depth of Bleckner's talent, and the degree to which these little known gems represent a major part of Bleckner's oeuvre. Luminescent and utterly unique, Bleckner's watercolor images prossess a photographic quality, and their brightness and shimmering surfaces attest to the artist's mastery and technique."
