The Pickman Portfolio

Eight decades ago, a young artist by the name of Richard Upton Pickman shocked the Boston art world with just a few canvases, then disappeared from history along with the main body of his work, leaving behind only the brief second-hand account of an ardent admirer.

 

Now, the Pickman Conservative has located and restored a number of Pickman's early sketches and studies, and is planning to reintroduce the world to this forgotten American realist.

believed to be the work that provoked Pickman's expulsion from the Boston Art Club


The Pickman Conservative would like to announce the publication of a printed portfolio reproducing in exquisite detail the most striking examples of R. U. Pickman's surviving works upon fine heavy-duty stock, suitable for framing. Yes, the Pickman Conservative sure would like to announce that. Maybe someday it will. In the meanwhilst, go to http://www.lulu.com/content/698373 and pick up the next best thing. Or contact the Pickman Conservative and we'll work something out...
