Description:
Day and night for seven years, Myrtice West -- a woman with no formal art training, an 8th-grade education, and a hard life in rural Alabama -- worked in obscurity to create 13 large paintings that detailed the New Testament Book of Revelation, the coming Apocalypse, and the promise of a new world. In the 1990's, Mrs. West gained fame as one of the leading "outsider" artists, and her paintings hang in the country's most prestigious folk art galleries and collections.
Expand description
Wonders to Behold examines West's extraordinary artistic achievement by featuring an essay on each of her Revelations paintings by noted writers, art scholars, and artists. Each painting is beautifully reproduced and meticulously analyzed. In addition to her Revelation series, the book displays paintings from her series on Ezekiel and Daniel, and a variety of other works.
Art scholars say Mrs. West combines Hieronymus Bosch with Grandma Moses. Religion experts say she has created a vivid and crucial vision of the coming End Times. Wonders to Behold will appeal to art cognoscenti, Christians preparing for Apocalypse, and anyone fascinated by millennium fervor.
