Recenzii

Wesley Wehr has brought together his remarkably vivid and detailed memories, notes, and letters, and distilled from them a wonderful series of portraits with an immediacy and warmth that no formal biography could match, an intimate look at an extraordinary circle of friends and their creative worlds. Oliver SacksWesley recalls the pith of all formal lectures or mealtime chatter, and writes it down. His book is also a self-portrait of Seattle. He makes art from what artists say about art. Ned Rorem There is a sub-text of the artist as loner, and we are admitted into the intensities that linked various of these creative people, supporting them in their lives and art. Martha Kingsbury
