Description:
This book features sixty color images of the nationally recognized artist T. L. Solien's artworks, with essays placing him in the context of American modernism, Melville studies, nineteenth-century landscape painting, and film. From whaling adventures in New England to territories of land and opportunity in the West, Solien continues the eternal American search for self-fulfillment and rebirth in his art.
