- Summary:
- Artist Celeste Dupuy-Spencer created tender yet charged portrayals of American life. Her compositions grapple with memory, identity, politics, and faith through expressive brushwork and deeply personal scenes. Spanning the last decade of her career before her passing in 2026, this volume pairs 63 paintings, including new and never-before-published artworks, with prose by author Nina MacLaughlin. Taking the paintings as a jumping-off point, MacLaughlin creates narrative impressions of scenes depicted. She guides readers inside the thoughts of the figures on the canvas, through the histories of the rooms they occupy, and into Celeste's mind, past, and creative ethos.--Adapted from publisher's description.
