This book is straight, tight, clean and bright with no noticeable shelf wear and no marks found. The jacket is clean and bright, not price clipped with no noticeable shelf wear. Each page presents a painting with the opposing page blank or used for the title and date. While John Grillo was in San Francisco, he produced a series of paintings which, for sheer inventiveness of technique, reviled vanguard developments in the East. His free-spirited exploration of the possibilities of paint helped to ignite an unprecedented exploration of creativity that would resound in the Bay Area for decades to come. Proceeds from the sale of this book benefit environmental restoration and education.

Vivid and stimulating, this lush monograph focuses on the watercolors that artist John Grillo created during his three years in San Francisco and his major—but heretofore unrecognized—contributions to the abstract expressionist movement. Each of the more than 60 color plates is accompanied by an artist’s statement that will give readers firsthand insight into the mind and creations of one of the finest "action painters" in the postwar West Coast scene. Art students learning about watercolor media, art historians studying abstract expressionism, and collectors of abstract expressionist art will be thrilled by this brilliant new contribution to Grillo scholarship.
