Come Walk With Me: The Art Of Dorris Curtis (c)

"Come Walk with Me: The Art of Dorris Curtis has enormous appeal both as a memoir and as a collection of wonderful paintings. Dorris Curtis, like Grandma Moses, began painting at a late age. She worked as a school teacher for over forty years and upon retirement at the age of sixty-five, began to study art. Curtis looked up to Grandma Moses and was heavily influenced by her achievements. This book includes 103 images of Curtis's artwork, each with an extended caption, as well as an introduction by Robert Cochran which places Curtis's art into the larger context of both Arkansas art and American folk art as a whole.
