Stimulatingly interesting vision

This is the definitive catalogue of the African American artist Bob Thompson's work. If you are familiar with his work or are interested in discovering the work of this artist, this is really the only collection with any substantial visual volume for an overview. I actually didn't find the text to be as intrusive as has been suggested by the above reviewer. Reviews are good, but always review the item for yourself if you are truly interested.
