The Last Mountain is a fascinating biography of the famous British American artist, Robert Wood (1889-1979). A landscape artist of relevant stature, Robert Wood has painted in the best traditions of John Constable and George Inness and many others as famous. Sumptuous in color, correct in drawing, his land¬scapes are unique. His passion for storms, his reflections on the brilliantly colored pastoral scenes, his awe for the majestic moun¬tains and valleys of the American West with its shorelines and vistas that run into the Pacific are all included in his works. Mrs. Flume was a close friend and admirer of Robert Wood. In this book, she describes the artist's ninety year span of life, from his early years in England to his years in Texas and Cali¬fornia. She also brings together an array of personal photos on the artist's life as well as many of his color canvasses. Of special interest to artists and amateurs are the sections on How Robert Wood Painted and His Palette and Painting Notes. These tell how he painted the sky in connection with sunny days, moun¬tains, shorelines, snow, etc. He gives the colors for the trees together with their trunks, limbs, and foliage, as well of grass, snow, water and flowers. In all of this, Violet has succeeded in giving the reader and the lover of art a real insight into the spiritual and physical world of one of today's most revered American artists.The Last Mountain is a fascinating biography of the famous British American artist, Robert Wood (1889-1979).
