Written by True's daughter Jere True and his granddaughter Victoria Tupper Kirby, the book has the charm of a personal memoir that is greatly enhanced by its scholarly underpinnings and lavish illustrations. The story of Allen Tupper True's life and work is truly an American story that deserves to take its place in the panoply of American art history." --Book Jacket. |
