Fairfield Porter was not one to boast of his ancestry; he rarely mentioned his distinguished relatives and forebears, even later in life to those friends who would have been intrigued by them.

"Fairfield Porter, a twentieth-century painter who produced realist work in the midst of the Abstract Expressionist movement, was hailed by John Ashbery in 1983 as "perhaps the major American artist of this century." This biography of Porter tells his life story - integrating it with his art, art criticism, and poetry - and in so doing explains Ashbery's claim."--BOOK JACKET.
