Reflections of Naturesecond printingA thought-provoking text by Donald Kuspit puts Raffael's painting in the context of 20th-century art, psychology, and philosophy. Amei Wallach's warmly perceptive introduction, inspired by a visit to the artist's studio in the south of France, explores Raffael's sources, his inspirations, and his ideas about art; her individual chapter openers address the predominant subjects within the artist's work. The artist himself has contributed two fascinating elements, both of which illuminate the pleasures and occasional terrors of the creative process: "Diary of a Painting" - tracing the evolution of one major work over several months, from the original slide to the finished wall-size watercolor - and an informative and revealing "Autobiographical Chronology." 170 illustrations, 150 in full color A limited number of signed copies of Joseph's book, "Reflections of Nature", are available from the Nancy Hoffman Gallery .
