Barber’s art as it has never been available before. While seventy-nine of Barber's works have been published as limited edition prints, hundreds of others are in private collections. Many are published here for the first time. John Valliant's narrative puts the artist's work in a historical context, enriched by Barber's personal chronicle explaining each painting and how it was conceived. Black and white sketches created especially for the book provide an added glimpse into the creative process behind the paintings.
