Abstract
Pertains to the work of Canadian artist and transitional figure, J.W. Beatty. The author, Dorothy M. Farr explores the dichotomy between the genuine sensitivity of Beatty’s art, and the more chaotic life of the artist himself. The publication includes lengthy quotations from the artist in an effort to convey the voice from Beatty himself. Farr shares the history of J.W. Beatty, as well as his art that speaks for itself.
