"Initially envisioned as a simple collection to represent conventional topics - landscape, still life, portraiture, and similar genres - these images become markers for something greater. The body of work within these pages moves us to envision the world differently. We have the opportunity to glimpse, if just for a moment, the nature of an artist's vision." - Publisher.
