Book Description
Card catalog description
Examines the personal life and artistic development of Frank Howell, whose paintings often depict the spirituality and mythological aspects of Native American life.
Product Description:
Frank Howell's paintings dazzle
the viewer with their luminous colors and haunting images. A unique chronicler of the native people and natural beauty of the Southwest, Howell pulls us into a spiritually charged world resonant with multiple meanings. Whether he's painting a pair of
hands, a bird in flight or the face of an old woman, Howell can look upon the familiar and see something no one else sees. His sense of wonder and his passion make his often solitary figures enormously expressive; they inhabit a physically spare but
spiritually rich universe that Howell reveals through his extraordinary artistry.
This stunning overview of Frank Howell's work includes full-color reproductions of almost eighty paintings, many exclusive to this collection, as well as
black-and-white photographs of the artist at work. Michael French's account of Howell's personal and professional development, based on extensive interviews, offers intriguing insights into the man behind the work. In addition, Frank Howell shares his
thoughts on many of his paintings, affording a unique glimpse into a special universe, which this contemporary shaman evokes with power, passion and profound beauty.
