5.0 out of 5 stars A fitting tribute to a great artist, November 15, 1999

By A Customer

The most complete reference of the sacred artwork of Avard Fairbanks. This book describes the sculpture in great detail, along with photos of the works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificant work! The art work is exceptionally well done., July 15, 1999

By A Customer

The contents of this book depict the love and devotion of the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as they endured trials and tragedies during the early years of the Church's organization (mid 1800's to mid 1900's). The descriptions given about each piece of artwork are clear and concise. Avard T. Fairbanks was truly a professional in his time. His artwork is thought provoking and provides the reader with a clear insight as to the devotion and hardships the Mormons had to endure. Truly an amazing compilation of sculpture.
