Wishart, Michael. High Diver. First Edition. 1977. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition.
Michael Wishart is not a well-known painter today, but that was not because he was untalented. His works rarely come up for sale, so this lyrical memoir, itself in short supply, is one of the best means of understanding him and his work. It is an unpretentious yet self-assured glimpse into the mind and sensibility of a man struggling to create while at the same time, self-destructing. With cameos by the notorious Denham Fouts and a young Nicky Haslam. Includes several sections of b & w photos.
