I live very close to his fathers house on Prospect Hill in Beverly. Mine is a house of the same vintage and style and while reading the book and looking at the paintings; Ive experienced the feelings conveyed by both author and artist. We inhabit such place for a brief moment between eternities and the pain; loss and loneliness of previous dwellers can be sensed particularly in the quiet dawn twilight of Barnets palette. It took Professor Dumms beautiful prose to bring this all out and for that I thank him.The house today:0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A House in Beverly and BeyondBy Sally Ann SimsI am mostly familiar with Will Barnets work through his delightful seriographs of the 1970s. I didnt know about the My Fathers House series of paintings; now donated to colleges around New England; until I read this book. It isnt art criticism or history; it is a well-considered musing on the artists struggle to reflect memory; family; and place; while connecting the past to the future and back to the past. And on how we live going forward with all the terror and beauty of life. The essay writing style of the text invites us to consider our own thoughts and reactions to the paintings. As with other art; meaning comes from both the artist and the viewer...or reader.-Sally Ann Sims; author of Halt at X: A North of Boston Novel2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A great read. Dumm begins by reflecting on familiesBy MelihA great read. Dumm begins by reflecting on families; houses and solitude; and then moves onto look at how each painting informs these concepts. Dumms writing is consistently clear and accessible. He establishes many interesting conversations with literary figures and various theorists to shed light on his explications of these paintings. Dumm perhaps poses more questions than answers but this is worthwhile because he gives us a vocabulary to reflect on these questions in his beautiful introduction. Highly recommended!
