520 _aFairfield Porter, a twentieth-century painter who produced realist work in the midst of the Abstract Expressionist movement, was hailed by John Ashbery in 1983 as "perhaps the major American artist of this century." This biography of Porter tells his life story - integrating it with his art, art criticism, and poetry - and in so doing explains Ashbery's claim.
