Biography of a naturalist painter's life and philosophy.
If you're intrigued by the interplay between an artist's life narrative and their creative doctrine, 'Thomas Crotty: A Solitude of Space' is a compelling read for you. It's not just a peek into Crotty's personal journey but also an exploration of his artistic convictions directly from the voice of a romantic-realist—or as he preferred, a naturalist. This book could give you a fresh perspective on modern art theories through the lens of Crotty's experience and commentary.

Description
This first-ever biography of Thomas Crotty weaves insightful commentary on his painting with the story of his life as a painter and an outspoken commentator in his own right on modern theories of art. Often described as a romantic-realist, Crotty is more comfortable with the word naturalist when an attempt is made to categorize him.
