Walter Tandy Murch: The Spirit of Things - Softcover
Defying categorization, the paintings of Walter Tandy Murch (1907-1967) have been variously described as Realist, Magic Realist and Surrealist. This publication revisits an artist who ignored mid-Twentieth century artistic currents and has been somewhat neglected as a result. Born and trained in Toronto, Murch moved to New York where he studied at the Art Students League, went on to exhibit at the Whitney Museum and establish a long association with the Betty Parsons Gallery. He excelled in book and magazine illustration, and maintained a lifelong commitment to a unique depiction of everyday objects and mechanical devices. Two thoroughly researched essays lay out the scope of Murch's diverse and original career. The publication's dustjacket opens into a large illustration.
