Paperback. Etat : New. A large-format biographical and art historical review of the American expatriate painter Paul Fontaine (1913-1996), who spent approximately a third of his life painting in each of three countries: the United States, Germany and Mexico. Trained in traditional methods at the Worcester Art Museum's School of Art and Yale University, Fontaine moved to abstraction in postwar Germany, where he worked as art director for Stars & Stripes until 1970. From 1970 until 1992 he painted in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he continued to transform his artistic style. The biographical portion, written by his daughter, is structured around "Dad's Lessons for Success," which offers a personal view of the artist's motivation and experiences in the three countries. Three art historians contribute essays on the chronologically and geographically distinct portions of Fontaine's life. In addition, the book offers a selection of previously unpublished photographs of WWII-surviving German artists and art dealers, including Willi Baumeister, Wilhelm Nay, Hans Hartung, Jean Arp, Hanna Bekker vom Rath, and Ottomar Domnick. More than 200 images of Fontaine's work from private collections and museums are reproduced, most in color.

It offers a glimpse of an expatriate artist who lived and worked successfully in New England, Italy, France, Germany, Mexico, and Texas, and who overcame the many trials he faced with determination and humor.…
