The Art of Raymond Jonson, Painter

The Art of Raymond Jonson, Painter, by Ed Garman, with a foreword by Elaine de Kooning

Raymond Jonson (1891-1982), was an internationally known painter who strove to explore pure abstraction in his paintings, and whose work is seen as avant garde even in present time. He settled in Santa Fe in 1924. In 1938 Jonson and Emil Bissttram formed The Transcendental Painting Group, in Taos and Santa Fe, and which grew to nine members and continued until 1941, and which included Ed Garman, the author of this rare book, and who formed a close friendship with Jonson.

The cloth-bound book is in excellent condition; dust jacket is present (with small tears and shelf-wear), and contains many black and white illustrations of Jonson’s works.
