Frederick Carl Frieseke was my mother's father. At the peak of his career, he was one of the best-known of the many American Impressionists in Europe.

"The book's groundbreaking scholarship casts new light on Frieseke, American Impressionism, and the art world at the turn of the last century." - from the Editorial Review at Amazon.com.
Serving as the catalog for a major traveling retrospective show of the artist, this fully-illustrated hardback has come out to coincide with the Exhibition at Telfair Museum of Art. This is not Frieseke's first major retrospective show, but it the most comprehensive traveling show, and the largest since the 1939 show at New York's Grand Central Art Galleries. The Telfair organized a smaller traveling exhibition in 1974, and published a modest catalog. The new book is "coffee-table" sized (over 12" x 10") - 219 pages, lavishly illustrated with b & w photos, b & w and color reproductions of art works, many half-page color reproductions and several full-bleed plates. Nick's biography of his grandfather is greatly enhanced by the inclusion of information and quotations from family letters, which our sister Anne has been sorting, transcribing, and archiving. There are also essays David Sellin, Virginia Mecklenburg, and H. Barbara Weinberg, and contributions by Linda McWhorter, the coordinator of both exhibition and catalog. Frieseke's well-known major impressionist masterpieces in oil are shown along with his lesser-known works: early and later oils, small watercolors, drawings and cartoons; these give a well-rounded picture of his breadth and development as an artist. Many well-illustrated catalogs of his work have been published in the past - I have six of them on my shelf - but this is by far the most comprehensive. Our hope and confident expectation is that this impressive volume will give "name recognition" to a painter of many well-known and beloved images.

No Word of Farewell: Selected Poems, 1970-2000; R. S. Gwynn. Story Line Press, 2001 Paperback **book cover image detail The cover illustration is F. C. Frieseke's "The Garden Parasol" from the North Carolina Museum of Art. R. S. Gwynn is the author of the poem "The Garden Parasol," which was published in The Store of Joys (see below). My favorite living poet, Richard Wilbur, has this to say:R. S. Gwynn's No Word of Farewell is full of a dark and sardonic view of things, though that mood can modulate into the elgiac, or into the exquisite poignancy of such a poem as "Release." Whatever darkness prevails in this book is continually alleveated by wit, and by a Byronic pleasure in formal play. His poems are based on the vernacular, yet haunted by the whole tradition of verse. This is a richly varied, highly accomplished collection from one of our best.

The Store of Joys: Writers Celebrate the North Carolina Museum of Art's Fiftieth Anniversary; edited by Huston Paschal. North Carolina Museum of Art in association with John F. Blair Publisher, September, 1997. Paperback
Frieseke's "The Garden Parasol" is reproduced on page 84, with a response by Elizabeth Spencer. Her essay on the painting and its creator is both personal and scholarly. R. S. Gwynn chose the same painting (the museum's only Frieseke) as the subject for a sensitive poem of the same title. It is interesting to note the very different reactions of these two North Carolina writers to the same work of art.
