Product Description

The personal life and history of Thomas Nast has been a mystery, overshadowed by the plethora of works about his career as the Father of American Caricature.

The author goes where no other has ventured, into Mr. Nast� s family history, dating back to eighteenth-century Germany; investigating skeletons in the family closet (Mr. Nast actually did own a real skeleton that he would pose for his many sketches containing the figure); and bringing to life some of his 3,000 images through color.

With nineteen full-page color family portraits, ten full-page color images of the Civil War and artwork, and eleven full-page color political images that mirror our present-day social and economic woes, this book is a memorial tribute to the honor and brilliant original imagination that manifested in the artistic talent of a remarkable man.

Was Thomas Nast a clairvoyant, as some historical articles asked, whose sketches of 150 years ago depicted America � s political, social, and economic upheaval we find ourselves in today? Readers must draw their own conclusions.

Thomas Nast - The Artist in Color Review

I preface this review by stating that I don't necessarily like reading reference material. I find it boring, however this book about Thomas Nast painted a clear picture of who the man, 'Thomas Nast' was (which is why I felt compelled to write this review). I believe this was possible due to the obvious admiration and respect that the author clearly possesses for Nast. I found myself wishing I could have met him and his quaint family, looked upon his artwork and even possibly ran into him on his travels in another day and age. I would greatly enjoy an historical novel that documents Mr. Nast, his family, his travels, art and political involvement...and especially by such an author that is so passionate about her subject. I wonder if she has considered writing such a novel? I would definitely read it!
