The Human Side Of Fairfield Porter,
By MarkRushton.com (Iowa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Material Witness: The Selected Letters of Fairfield Porter (Hardcover)
This book is a lovely treat.
It's also been quite a long time in the making. These letters, compiled and edited by former Porter student Ted Leigh, served as the basis for part of John Spike's lovely book on Porter back in 1992. This fact is mentioned a couple times at the beginning of the Spike book. Material Witness came out in 2005, so it's better late than never. What's the difference between this, the Spike book, and Justin Spring's biography a few years back? Material Witness shows the human side of Fairfield Porter; in particular the letters to his son Laurence and his family. The most disturbing thing is reading Porter's letters that acknowledge his increasing lack of energy over his final couple of years. If you have the Spike book, you'll definitely want this book. |
