According to Bultman, his inclination to unify opposites could be traced to his childhood. Recalling his conversations with Morris Graves, he told Irving Sandler that, given the limited material available to them, they shared an interest in the work of Paul Gauguin and Nicholas Poussin, an interest that remained with him. Asked how he could reconcile two such different artists, Bultman cited the rich contrasts of his Louisiana boyhood, including the practice of burning swamps: "It's the fire and water. You very seldom see them together in such close juxtaposition as you do when they're burning a swamp."

This review is from: Fritz Bultman: Collages (Paperback)
Being a professional artist for almost 30 years, from time to time ,
I myself, will go through a collage stage and this book hit a homerun for me. I am a colorist and when I find a book with color...as with this book, it is a true plus. The book also allows readers into the private life of the artist. He loved poetry, which shows up in the collages. There are 29 full color plates showing us his journey to perfection. He also loved artists and you can see that influence in his collages, which have more clarity than his paintings.I would recommend this book to anyone working with clarity of color. 4 star.
