Small Worlds Small Paintings

“Small Worlds, Small Paintings”
by Philip C. Curtis
Cattle Track Press 2009

A collection of sixty-eight (68) little-known works. Beginning in 1957, Philip C. Curtis utilized the same technique and dream-like vision in these small jewels as his large-scale work. Curtis often used found objects like tin boxes, canes, daguerreotype cases and cameos in addition to the gessoed panels to reveal the same fanciful, mysterious and magical world.
