Signed by Author and Artist on title page. Dickerson was a self-taught artist who refused to go to art school. His art has been described as angular and high contrast chiaroscuro and executed in a range of materials including paint, pastels, charcoals and other graphic media.The inspiration for his art came from everyday life and he drew on the themes of loneliness, vulnerability and isolation. Lone characters with long noses and whimsical, often averted eyes featured heavily of his work. He said it is “the same style I’ve always used”, and did not intend to change it. The book is written by his wife Jennifer and is both a retrospective and a celebration. pp. 167 illusts #0318(Please note: Over standard weight. Orders may incur additional postage charges.
