Reviews

Praise for Franz Kline: "One of the best new books on postwar American art...A sympathetic, though unsparing, account of the artist's life is interwoven expertly with the history of his work, resulting in an exemplary study of a contemporary painter's career." -- San Francisco Examiner--Chronicle "The first book-length study on the artist. It is sharp and informative and it contains a good deal of new documentation." -- The New York Times "This monograph is well researched...and generously illustrated with good color plates. The chronology, notes, bibliography, and personal photographs are valuable resources." -- Choice
