Born in 1942 and educated in the fine arts at the prestigious Art Students League in New York City, John Pitre evolved to become a master of fantasy and surrealism. Pitre has been a significant influence in the art world for over thirty years, and carries the distinction of being one of the most widely published artists in modern history. Through his social commentary art and visionary paintings John Pitre shares his vision of our purpose in the universe, and reminds us of the responsibilities we have as moral beings and as stewards of our planet. He tells about life as a human citizen here on Earth, warning about its difficulties and pitfalls, but also portrays the beauty and magic that each one of us possesses within. He encourages us to follow our longings and aspirations to achieve our dreams, but to hold dear the relationships we have with all other men. This work celebrates Pitre’s magical and inexhaustible gifts of art and invention. Minor and sporadic rubbing and cresing along dust-jacket edges. Dust-jacket in overall good+, binding and interior in very good condition. vg. Hardcover. (33652) $75
