About This Item
Whitewater, Wisconsin:: Heart Prairie Press, January, 1998.. 5th Printing.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: tan cloth with black text; a Fine book, with a Near Fine dust jacket.. small 4to (10.25 inches tall) . Index of carvings. Photo endpapers. Description: Profusely illustrated in black and white, and includes a section of color plates. From the publisher's blurb: ''Fred's is an exceptional art. Fred's highly evocative sculptures seize our empathy, some bring a sobering response, others make us smile both inwardly and out. It is not uncommon to see tears well up in the eyes of viewers -- sometimes reflecting pathos, or more often a consequence of overwhelming nostalgia. This book chronicles Fred's development from a beginner woodcarver, trying and failing to make it in the Art Fair circuit, to an accomplished artist of international renown. Over 70 of his pieces are depicted and described in this book from his very first carving to those completed in early 1991. Fred discusses the specific aspects of each piece ,and gives the reader an insight to himself as an artist.'' Originally published in July of 1991, this is a later printing.
