Allan Houser is the first book to assess the artist’s entire career, from his earliest student paintings, to the soaring monumental sculptures of his late years.  The author, noted art historian W. Jackson Rushing, III, shows how the artist developed his unique gifts, not in opposition to but as a participant in the most important movements of twentieth-century art.  Lavishly illustrated with many color photographs taken expressly for this volume and supplemented with photographs from the Houser family archives, the book offers a comprehensive view of the career of this remarkable artist.
