Michael Dailey

"What most of us remember about a landscape is tied to our senses. Michael Dailey has been making landscape paintings for more than forty years. During that time he has been balancing line and color to produce paintings about the nuances of space, light, and atmosphere that comprise our memories of time and place. This distillation of the landscape to lush color and formal geometry is illuminated in forty-four color plates and a lively essay on Dailey's life and work by former Seattle Times art writer Robin Updike. The book accompanies a retrospective exhibition organized by John Olbrantz, Maribeth Collins Director at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willall1ctte University, which will open at the museum in June 2008."--BOOK JACKET.
