Frank Appling, a New York boy from Bay Ridge, makes his way through the city, the neighborhood, the coastal water world he lives in, toward a life in art. From the day he drew the Verazzano Bridge rising from a coffer dam in the Hudson River in his composition book,that was it. He wanted to draw and paint and make sculpture, to do arty things all the time.
It's a story of improvised perseverance -- how Frank moves through late 20th century life, toward the worlds of art; how his painting reflects his Place -- in the land and water, and history of his hometown, the mythical center of everything. How to keep doing it, to keep the love of it, of the doing of it, through all the stuff of life.
PAINTING PICTURES a romance edition by JIM DESMOND Arts Photography eBooks
One of the best takes on what it means to be an artist I have ever read. The recounting of Frank Appling's life opens up the secrets of the bottega, the mysterous recipes of paint and canvas which fix nature so it can be contemplated at ease. Appling is driven since childhood to paint, tormented when he cannot, neglecting family and friends when called by his vocation to brush and easel. His art is his life, but also his livelihood, and his story takes us into the tortuous world of galleries and dealers. A brilliant tale on the making of modern art.Product details
