About this ebook
A successful abstract painter now living in an artists’ colony in upstate New York sits down with a short-story writer over a period of three days to discuss his life’s work. During the talks, there emerges a joyful, jazzlike riff recalling the painter’s fifty-year friendship with another abstract artist. The New York City art scene is featured along with tales of heartache and triumph.
