Wooden Ships and Iron Men The Maritime Art Of Thomas Hoyne

Tom Hoyne was a successful artist in advertising when, in mid-life, he was diagnosed with cancer and given two years to live. Confounding his physicians, Hoyne lived for seventeen years, during which he produced some of the most dramatic paintings of America's maritime past. This beautiful volume is the first full presentation of Hoyne's work. More than 100 paintings are reproduced here, almost all of which portray the beauty of the fishing schooners and the terrors and hardships on the waters of the notoriously inhospitable Grand Banks. In addition to rPalley, Reese is the author of 'Wooden Ships and Iron Men The Maritime Art Of Thomas Hoyne', published 2005 under ISBN 9781593720131 and ISBN 1593720130.
