The Birth of an Artist: A Journey of Discovery (SIGNED COPY)
by: Ed Hamilton

Softcover. Louisville KY, Chicago Spectrum Press, 1st, 2006, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, b&w illustrations throughout. INSCRIBED BY HAMILTON on the front fly leaf. Ed Hamilton was raised on a street, in a neighborhood, that no longer exists. But Walnut Street and the now razed black professional district are vibrant and alive in this account of how one skinny black youth became a nationally acclaimed sculptor. This autobiography chronicles not just one man, but a way of life. It is filled with photos of art work now located all over the U.S., in private homes, public plazas, and prestigious museums.
