New Regionalism The Art of Bryan Haynes

In this beautiful coffee table book, Bryan gives a chronological presentation of his art from the 1980s up to the present along with his narrative both in prose and in art describing the (development or progression) of his career. In the chapter entitled, "Rediscovery of the Landscape," the artist and author says, "Here the northern edge of the Ozark Plateau folds as it bumps up against the Missouri River exposing creamy, white limestone bluffs edged with dark, black cedar. Already the armature of my artwork existed in this landscape - rhythmic undulations along with curves arching over horizontal lines -seemingly just waiting for interpretation."
