VG-(Wraps are moderately edgeworn, scuffed and foxed; interior is clean; binding is solid. ) Red stapled wraps with color illustration and white lettering; 36 pp.; richly illustrated. "Benton was a thinker of uncommon originality, depth, and perception...in the simplest, most directly stated language, Benton points out the truths of art and life so obscured by the verbiage of the day. There is an informed, innocent honesty about the man akin to the child able to see and acknowledge to himself and others that the emperor has no clothes."--Art Critic, Don Gray.
