Reseña del editor:

This illustrated book of Donald Holden - with more than 100 color plates - surveys the artist's work from his Yellowstone fire series to his paintings of the Hudson Valley, the Catskills and Adirondacks, Monhegan Islands and the Maine coast, the west and southwest, and the Pacific Coast.
American art historian Richard Boyle analyzes the artist's creative process; the influences of Chinese and Japanese art; the impact of masters like Turner and Whistler; and the unique character of Holden's innovative paintings.
In an essay on his work methods, Holden describes how he works from on-the-spot drawings, from memory, and from imagination to capture what Asian masters called "the spirit of nature." He explains how he creates a "custom palette" for each painting; how he mixes colors on the painting itself; and how he develops a series of variations on a single theme. Working artists will be able to study the artist's "handwriting" in a step-by-step visual description of how one of the Yellowstone fire scenes was created.
