520			_aThis illustrated biography of West Coast artist Olaf Palm collects for the first time a broad sample of his diverse works, illuminated by often witty excerpts from his journals and letters, plus the reminiscences of those who knew and loved him.Palm was a lucid chronicler of his times and not one to follow the mainstream art trends of the day. His influences were Old Masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer, successfully merged with American Realists like Wyeth, Homer, and Hopper plus Impressionists Monet and Van Gogh.Palm's trademark softness of line and brilliance of color shine throughout his many subjects, which were largely determined by his life's passions: back-to-the-lander, self-sufficient homesteader, counterculture raconteur, jazz musician, world traveler, lifelong reader, father, lover, friend, radical, and jolly curmudgeon.
