An exhaustive exhibition catalog featuring prolific reproductions, full color and b&w, of Tobey's paintings and prints. Art history should proclaim Tobey as the harbinger of busy, abstract works that experts compare to Jackson Pollack drip paintings; they were painted three years before Pollack veered in that direction. Dust jacket now protected in a clear, removable archival sleeve.
