Description
Featuring lush reproductions of the landscapes of American artist Len Chmiel, this book depicts four decades of the artist's melodic, evocative, and often abstracted depictions of the land. Amy Scott contributes a fine essay discussing Chmiel's formative years as an illustrator in Los Angeles through his subsequent move to Colorado, where he turned from illustration and dove into fine art exclusively.
