Beautifully illustrated with black-and-white and a handful of color photographs, S. Seymour Thomas 1868 - 1956: A Texas Genius Rediscovered is a coffee-table sized biography of a young Texas boy who earned artistic fame and prestige in Europe. The detailed text written in tribute to S. Seymour Thomas captures the details of his life from his childhood drawings of hunting dogs to marvelous talent for portraiture as an adult. Drawing liberally from family letters and diaries to supplement its detail, S. Seymour Thomas 1868-1956 is truly a fitting commemoration of a dedicated artist's life and work.
