The Sketches of Tom Phillips [Hardcover] Phillips, Tom & Don Ornduff and Profusely illustrated

Great early sketches by Tom Phillips, called "The Poet of the West". These early sketches predate the magnificent series of monumental paintings and sculpture for The Chickasaw Nation. The sketches are important , as they highlight Tom's immense progress in those later works after settling in San Francisco. Though not yet the mature artist, they already show Tom's great ability to capture the most delicate expressions even in animals. ( on line review)
