Florine Stettheimer: Painting Poetry

"Wonderful book. Many color reproductions of the work in" according to susan gilbert. Wonderful book. Many color reproductions of the work in the show at the Jewish Museum. I have collected many books of her work and this is a good one. I did not read the text because I've read other material about her.

Rachel Mutchmore This is a beautiful and captivating book of a charming and unique American painter told by some very excellent essays and wonderful paintings. Move over Georgia and Frida to make some space for Florine.
