AFA Summer 2019

Summer 58 www.antiquesandfineart.com A Festival of Fine Art, Live Music and Southern Cuisine. ARTISPHERE.ORG PRESENTEDBY FIND YOUR HAPPY MEDIUM GREENVILLE, SC | MAY 10-12 Original artwork by Sharon Tesser, “Bird in Hand” J ohnWhorf, Rediscovered is the definitive resource for collectors and admirers of JohnWhorf (1903–1959). Researched for over a decade, the book includes examples of his paintings, many now in some of our nation’s most prestigious museums, and reveals the truth about his influences, particularly that of his mentor and philosophical guide, Charles Webster Hawthorne (1872–1930). It also oˆers an assessment of Whorf’s thirty-five year career as seen through the eyes of the influential Boston and New York critics who wrote about him from his first solo exhibit at the age of twenty-one. Yet despite his continued popularity, until now, there has not been a book that examines Whorf’s evolution as an artist and his place in American art, particularly American watercolor. John Whorf, Rediscovered is available through AFAPublishing. This 128- page hardcover book ($79.95) includes over 70 paintings, more than half of them never seen before, along with many private family photographs.
