Description:Catalog for the "William Harper: Volumes of Souls" exhibition at the Kennedy Galleries from October 14-November 14, 1998. Includes essay by Michael W. Monroe, and artist's CV. "William Harper's enameled objects have long been prized by museums and collectors throughout the world. Volumes of Souls, a collection of sumptuously illuminated paintings unfolding in book form, marks his accomplishments in a completely different medium. Harper's painted and encrusted pages express a deep reverence for the great illuminated books of centuries past, yet they also depart from tradition to a highly original new realm." - Martha J. Fleischman, President, Kennedy Galleries
