Summary: An intimate glimpse into the soul of a gifted artist.
Review: "T.C. Cannon: He Stood in the Sun" is much more than a monograph of an Indian artist. It is a truly intimate look into the creative gift of the late T.C. Cannon. The author presents an historical perspective of his paintings, but goes beyond that with numerous studies, sketches and personal accounts. She also presents some of his poetry. This provides a detailed understanding of what motivated the artist to paint as he did. Additionally, several people important to the artist comment of various aspects of his life and their live with him. It all adds up to more than just a presentation of his works; it adds to up to a presentation of the artist himself. This book is a MUST for students, collectors and other patrons of Indian art and history.
