Item Description
Working in rural Alabama for seven years, Myrtice West painted the Bible's book of Revelation in thirteen large, vivid paintings. West's Revelations Series, exhibited in public only twice, is the subject of this book featuring essays by 17 renowned scholars and artists, including Ben Apfelbaum, Howard Finster, George Fowler, Miriam Fowler, Norman Girardot, Rebecca Hoffberger, Lee Kogan, Norbert Kox, Leslie Leubbers, Roger Manley, Ann Oppenhimer, Tom Patterson, Charles Rosenak, Gary Schwindler, Charles Reagan Wilson, and Benjamin Wright. The definitive work on Myrtice West and apocalypticism among self-taught artists, Wonders to Behold will appeal to everyone fascinated by visionary and outsider art, Southern Christian fundamentalism, and apocalyptic furor.
