Herman Maril Featured in New Collection of Emily Dickinson Poetry
Poésies d'Emily Dickinson Illustrées par la Peinture Moderniste Américaine joins the poetry of Emily Dickinson and American modernist painting in a 410-page coffee table book. Dickinson describes with a moving modernity the world around her—a world of freedom, in communion with nature, life and death, a transcendent, sensitive, moving universe. Fifty years later, the poems of one of the greatest American poets find a vibrant echo in the works of American painters, both figurative and abstract.
Maril is included in this select group of well-known artists that includes Edward Hopper, Marsden Hartley, Rockwell Kent, Arthur Dove, Stuart Davis, Thomas Hart Benton, John Marin, Andrew Wyeth, Joseph Stella, Guy Pene du Bois, Georgia O’Keefe, Charles Burchfield, Jacob Lawrence, and Milton Avery.
