Summary:
"This is a book on the subject of figurative painting, its status on the contemporary art scene and the experience of being a figurative painter. It's written from an unashamedly idiosyncratic perspective, in eleven chapters with a prologue about a girl born in northern England half a century ago"--Excerpted from Foreword on page 8.
