Recreational Barking

By Susan Martin Meggs

Book Overview

Tom Martin's autobiography communicates to us the power of the human spirit as he continued to paint and live his life with great humor after stricken

with chronic progressive multiple sclerosis. The powerful and whimsical paintings that enrich his autobiography often slash through the arrogance and

self-importance of his subjects to communicate their content with power and color. That Tom ever painted at all and that he continued to paint after stricken with a debilitating neurological disease were a struggle against odds that should have discouraged the strongest of us. In the face of great adversity, the comic spirit of his art communicated through the vibrate colors and the intense but simple themes cut to the core of the human psyche.
