Janet Fish: Paintings

Still life painter Janet Fish is noted for her dynamic oil paintings and watercolors, through which she "captures the beauty of everyday objects." She has won praise for her exuberant brushstrokes and dazzling composition, but it is the movement of light and color shimmering off bowls, glasses, bottles, cellophane, and other iridescent and reflective surfaces that gives her work its distinctive allure. This lovely volume is the only monograph now available on this renowned artist; a previous book on her paintings, published in the 1980s, is now a collector's item that sells for hundreds of dollars.

In this new, lavishly illustrated work, published with the cooperation of the artist, poet Vincent Katz combines brilliant prose with incisive art criticism to provide a stunning overview of this important artist's work.
