Franklin C. Watkins (1894-1972) was born in New York but pursued
his work as painter and teacher in Philadelphia. Over his long and
distinguished career, he was awarded many honors and prizes, and
his paintings hang in the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum
of American Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Corcoran
Gallery, the Detroit Institute of Art, the Baltimore Museum of Art,
as well as in many other museums, university collections, and
private collections. During a series of highly informal meetings
betwen Franklin C. Watkins and author Ben Wolf-both deeply
engrossed in art, one asking and listening, the other searching for
answers with the naked honesty that distinguishes both the man and
his work-this book found its natural though unorthodox form. The
transcriptions of the actual conversations between the author and
the painter are framed by an introductory essay on the origins of
the book and by an account of the painting of Watkins's mural-sized
canvas for the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale
University. But the book's contents resist classification.
Ninety-four of Watkins's paintings are reproduced, together with a
catalogue containing his comments on individual pictures.
