Ted Lindberg offers a lively yet thoughtful sketch of Currier's evolution as an artist. He also takes the reader into the artist's studio, where, in the course of painting, Currier discusses his tools, techniques, and gratification found within the process of artmaking. The plates in this book represent works created by Alfred Currier between 1992 and 2002--the time of his professional coming-of-age, which saw the crystallization of his personal style and technique.
