Resenhas
Washington, the indispensable man de James Thomas Flexner
I learned a lot. Washington is far more human to me now, but I like him even better
Covers the development of an American Style of painting. Mostly b/w illustrations, some in color. Good survey.
This superior one-volume editon of Flexner's monumental four-volume biography of Washington is both well-written and researched. A fitting biography worthy of its subject, and as close as I've gotten recently to a Presidential page-turner.
