RICHARD LAU comes from Michigan, U.S.A., where he was born, grew up and worked for more than 30 years for the state's largest telephone company. He moved to Chicago in 2014, just a few months before he turned 70, which to him is turning 35 years old a second time. He always looks forward to painting more works. This is the first and most comprehensive book of his art to date. Two additional books, which randomly divided the collection in this book, were simultaneously published with this one: It Dropped Out and Other Works - 133 Paintings by Richard Lau (Volume 1) and Happy Again and Other Works - 140 Paintings by Richard Lau (Volume 2).
