Folk artist Warren Kimble's works are displayed in a well-rounded title which supplements biographical information and interviews with the living artist with examples of his works and insights on his artistic techniques. It's unusual to find an art presentation which includes step-by-step suggestions for understanding some of the basic techniques involved: Warren Kimble: American Folk Artist holds everything under one cover.
