"Lawrence Goldsmith's focus throughout his career never wavered from the enigmatic beauty of the watercolor. His personal approach was an organic one; by working with what he saw evolving on the paper, taking advantage of, and even creating "accidents," Goldsmith produced a body of work ranging from delicate, dreamy landscapes to masterful rock- and seascapes, particularly through his unerring sense of color and deft calligraphy. This monograph is the first comprehensive look at the life and watercolors of this influential American artist."--BOOK JACKET.
