Book SynopsisShows the work of an exceptional and successful regional artistTrade Review"Bill Cumming is at once an exceptional and successful regional artist and one of the most erudite, perceptive, and entertainingly cantankerous characters in this part of the world. He tells what it was like to be an artist in the Great Depression, tells tales out of school about such international luminaries as Mark Tobey and Morris Graves, tells how the Northwest School (of which he was the youngest member) developed, tells about the early success -- and ultimate failure -- and shows how the political, economic, and cultural events of a half-century affected the life of a region and of its creative minority."
