Learning to Draw/A History: Across and Back

Basil King's sense of how to take from the unconscious in both his writing and his painting is idiosyncratic and yet utterly forthright and in that way available to us--and procative. King is a life-long and passionate observer, watcher, viewer of painting and a reader--and his take and his processing of that information is what he so wonderfully brings to us in his prose. --Kimberly Lyons.
