Heartland provides the nostaglia of days gone by in the beauty of Wysocki's folk art depicting American history. Throughout this book there are photographs of the American scene that appear to provide the incentive for each illustration. With each illustration, there are poems, verses, and notes of philosophy. As described, the American scene is profoundly depicted with artful grace through the heart and eyes of Charles Wysocki. A joyful book to enlighten anyone who loves the bygone era of serenity and history. Especially those who follow the artist's work.

As Amnerican as apple pie, artist Charles Wysocki's "Heartland" is a tribute to our country.

While his visions exist only in his imagination, his images are true-historic Boston in midwinter with bundled skaters circling a pond, a sun-filed beach in Nantucket, a New England pumpkin patch, and a White House Fourth of July picnic.

Wysocki says, "There is a country in my mind, a landscape in my heart, a place that does not appear on any map but is so clear and sharply detailed that to paint it, I have only to look within."

How fortunate we are that he did.

Profusely and beautifully illustrated, Charles Wysocki's Heartland is a bright and impressive chronicle of his love of life and Americana. The highly detailed, full-color paintings, drawings, sketches and photographs are all from his own collection and embellished with his personal poetry. Enthusiastically recommended for personal and community library artbook collections, Heartland is a visual and emotional celebration that will charm and even inspire those who browse through its pages.
