fine as new in oblong cloth Hardcover with illustrated dustjacket. Clean and crisp copy. With this book, we see artist Keith Rocco's exceptional understanding of Civil War life - on and off the battlefield, and a certain mastery of this subject in his paintings. In a style that seems to be a cross between such artists as Remington and Hopper, Rocco creates striking scenes that practically draw you into the combat... the combatants seeming to be in motion... sweeping right across the canvas. Although there are other renowned artists in the field of Civil War/military art who may pay a bit more attention to the finite details and historical accuracies of their subjects (particularly Don Troiani), I find Rocco's work right up there with the best of his contemporaries. Passionate portrayal, and the ability to draw the viewer into a painting are as important as rendering the historically correct belt buckle or hat.. Book Condition: Fine as New.
