Fletcher Martin by H. Lester Cooke
New York: Harry N. Abrams, 1977. 232 pp
"A painting should be invention, " Fletcher Martin has said, and his own works bear out this credo with versatility, imaginativeness, and originality. Martin has been a major voice in American art for more than forty years. Never photographically "real" or academically constrained, his paintings, drawings, and graphics possess an earthy vigor that is uniquely American and essentially of their time. The sensitive realism of his canvases, whether they deal with country dancers or prize fighters, children playing or bull fighters, card players or folksingers, circus figures or beautiful women, beach scenes or racing horses, fills the pages of this handsome volume with visual excitement.
