Louis Michel Eilshemius (1864-1941) was a born poet-visionary. His paintings reveal a gift for lyrical expression, an ability to impart an unearthly, dreamlike quality to canvas, and an extraordinary originality. The abundant illustrations in this first comprehensive volume on the artist attest to the importance of his contribution to American art at the turn of the century. The volume is rounded out by a biographical outline, selected bibliography, including an extensive list of Eilshemius" own publications, and an index. 11x12" oblong, 263 pp., 228 illustrations including 50 tip-ins in full color.
