Writers Who Paint Painters Who Write: 3 Jamaican Artists

Exceptionally expressive paintings from three contemporary Caribbean artists—each a prominent literary figure in Jamaica—are featured in this unusual collection. Abstract, evanescent webs by Jacqueline Bishop, sober still-life studies by Earl McKenzie, and landscape and figure paintings by Ralph Thompson provide vivid insight into the minds of these multitalented artists while continuing the long-standing tradition of transforming literary allusions into visual art.
