Customer Reviews

Vermont at its best

Beautiful book.

Affectionate Overview

This could almost be autobiography, except I think Sabra Field is probably more modest than Tom Slayton, the friend and supporter who compiled the text and (possibly) selected the works to be reproduced. Print making techniques, considerations and limitations are covered in the early pages with the rest of the book consisting of large glossy reproductions. Realistic impressionism or Impresionistic realism is beside the point. If you want to know how it feels to be in New England, this is a great place to start.

Sabra Field at her best

I have long been a fan of Sabra Field but I knew little about her. This wonderful book, which is full of her wonderful views and vistas, is a real look at Sabra "close up and personal." It is a look at her history and how she came to be who she is today. It is full of her love of Vermont expressed so well in her work. My problem with this book, however, is that it is impossible to have a favorite. While we have one of her winter scenes - "Winter Lights" (page 98 in the book), and a full sheet of the 29 cent US Postage stamp she did for Vermont's Bicentennial (Pg. 117), it is hard not to want more. This book will have to do for now. Tom Slayton's narrative is a thoughtful companion to the work of Sabra Field. You cannot go wrong with this beautiful book. David W.
