Summary:

"In this elegantly constructed book, Steven Henry Madoff combines a thoughtful consideration of Wilmarth's anguished life with a fine appreciation of the long-term trajectory and visual poetry of his work. Full of fascinating insights, it is a pleasure to read."--Jack Flam, Brooklyn College and City University of New York Graduate Center.

"The volume will be an important addition to the literature on post-war American art. Written by someone who is both art critic and poet, Madoff's book contains many sensitive interpretations of Wilmarth's work."--Bruce Altshuler, New York University

"This book will fill a significant void in the literature on recent American art. Madoff's text is elegantly written and very informative--a thorough interpretation of Wilmarth's work."--John Beardsley, Harvard Design School
