Great pictures

This book is a great introduction to the artist, with a short biographical section, a section on his drawings, and then a series of colorplates that show paintings that he has done or those that he is associated with. There are 40 beautiful colorplates, and each is accompanied by a page of text (some of the colorplates are details). In addition, there are 47 images of his drawings and notes. Wasserman's commentary is intelligent and interesting as well. Still, it is more of a coffee table book than one to learn from.
