American Dreamer
The Art of Philip C. Curtis

essays by Whitney Chadwick, Susan Ehrlich, Harry Rand et al.

Curtis's charming, exquisitely crafted art—influenced by the magical world of the circus as well as his turn-of-the-century childhood—presents an imagined vision of America in intense colors and moods that echo surrealism and magic realism.

American Dreamer, the first monograph on Curtis, brings together his finest paintings with essays on various aspects of his work by leading art historians and curators, along with full documentation of his life and career.
