Author Description

A Unique American Vision accompanied the Georgia Museum of Art's career-spanning and comprehensive exhibition of Gregory Gillespie's work. Gillespie's close friend, Carl Belz, contributed an essay that examines the artist's philosophy of painting and his rejection of the simplistic term "realism" as a label for his work. The catalogue also contains an enlightening interview with Gillespie by Donald D. Keyes, curator of paintings at the GMOA, a selected chronology of Gillespie's life and work, and a checklist of the exhibition. All works are illustrated in beautifully-reproduced color.
