Bob Thompson, you died way too soon.

Bob Thompson, by Thelma Golden (Oversize HC, 200 pages, 1998, $8)     SOLD

"Bob Thompson (1937-1966) found his voice in the novel hybrid forms that emerged from postwar American culture: Abstract Expressionism and abstract figuration, and jazz and rhythm and blues....

After Thompson's death at the age of 29, his biography became the stuff of legend: the young artist who lived and worked at full speed; the black painter at the center of a new, interracial Beat scene..."

Beautiful book, with a great book jacket. Lots of color prints. Look for it in the art section.
