Those who enjoy David\u2019s work now have an opportunity to have a coffee table book that tells the David Wright story with over two hundred of his paintings reproduced in color. Titled DAVID WRIGHT: Historian With A Brush, this hardcover, commemorative gift edition celebrating the life and art of David Wright… has just been released. The large format book presents the artist\u2019s biography, and an extensive portfolio of his work.<\/p>\n

The book\u2019s visually illustrated history text, authored by Western Writers Hall of Fame writer James A. Crutchfield, gives the reader an exciting journey through the life of the artist, culminating as one the nation\u2019s foremost painters of American exploration, Indian nations, and early American history.<\/p>\n

Combined with personal and archival photographs from Wright\u2019s collection, Crutchfield\u2019s text follows the artist from his early Kentucky roots, through his art education in Nashville and Europe, and combat endeavors of Vietnam. The colorful saga continues with tales of activities with long hunters and mountain men; as advisor to movie productions, and a lifelong passion for American history that is the subject of his art.<\/p>\n

The greater balance of the book\u2019s pages are devoted to full-page presentations of Wright\u2019s paintings, arranged within portfolios, with each portfolio identified by the subject genre. Commentary from celebrity patrons and notables in the historic literary and art world introduce the galleries. Brief historical background text and anecdotes accompany each of the paintings.

Whether working on the set as a movie extra or as a professional consultant for historical documentaries or living with mountain men traveling on horseback throughout the western mountains and eastern woodlands, David Wrights paintings are personal and represent his long search for authenticity and truth. This volume is a comprehensive examination of his experiences and interpretation of his view of history on canvas.<\/p>\n

The genesis of this book occurred in 2018, when long-time friend and Western Writers Hall of Fame historian James A. Crutchfield encouraged Wright to chronicle his work in a commemorative art book. Crutchfield’s vision finally came to fruition following Retrospective Exhibits at the Eiteljorg Museum of the American Indian and Western Art and the Booth Museum of Western Art.<\/p>\n

This resulting edition is his life’s story and gallery of more than 200 paintings and drawings selected from his lifes work and retrospective exhibitions at multiple American museums. The gallery includes Davids personal anecdotes and historical backgrounds accompanying many of the paintings, as well as commentary from eminent figures in the world of art portraying Americas story.
