In Poetic Silence
The Floral Paintings of Joseph Henry Sharp
Thomas Minckler

"In Poetic Silence, The Floral Paintings of JH Sharp" written by Thomas Minckler, a noted historian and collector, celebrates a hitherto unexplored facet of the career of one of the most beloved painters of the American West.

In his foreword, Brian Dippie, foremost authority on the art of the West, salutes In Poetic Silence as a "pathbreaking study".
