Description:
"We looked at approximately two hundred of the finest small-scale watercolors I have ever seen, all neatly matted, numbered, and bundled. A master indeed! What you see on these pages is a sampling in color and monochrome of what Wilcox has been doing in recent months to 'occupy his time.' In large measure these watercolors represent a kind of artistic nostalgia, a return to the romantic scenes of the artist's youth when rural America was colored by a quieter way of life, to the times and places that have left an indelible impression on his memory. They were drawn on bond paper, often directly with a felt pen, and watercolor washes added." Norman Kent, "The Little-Big Watercolor of Frank N. Wilcox," American Artist, 1963
