Jerry West: Alchemy of Memory is the long-awaited, richly deserved retrospective of one of Santa Fe and the Southwest’s most prominent artists. West was born in 1933 before the war that brought New Mexico into the modern century. His father Harold E. (“Hal”) West, a WPA artist, anchored his son in the rugged world of ranch life and in an abiding respect for American regionalism. To the vernacular Jerry West brought modernism.

Presenting ninety major works, the book distills the creative life of a painter, printmaker, storyteller, and poet in paintings that explore the complex psychology of dreams and the vividness of memory mixed with experiences and perceptions as a child of a world scarred by wars and the atomic bomb.

Price includes tax and S&H to U.S. destinations.
