A Painter's Life is a rare glimpse into the mind of an
uncompromising painter. Mari Lyons was a life-long "every-day"
painter and from an early journal she kept for a short time she
reveals the heartbreaks, the pain of rejection, the intense and
abiding love of her work, and the quiet triumphs of a painter
juggling the demanding life of a mother of four, a busy husband,
constant financial pressure; she had a fierce desire to make
ever-better work, and for her work to become more visible in the
world. Later talks she gave at the Munson William Proctor Institute
and Rider University frame the journal entries with the aesthetic
concepts that animate her work. This look at her inner life is made
more palpable by a selection of more than eighty-five
representative paintings in color, along with sketches and
photographs. Mari studied with Max Beckmann as a teenager, and
later at Bard College, Yale-Norfolk, and with Stanley William
Hayter. Her early work received high praise in college and from her
first exhibition at the Polari Gallery in Woodstock when she was
nineteen and still a student. She married at twenty-one, had three
children in as many years, and then moved from the Midwest to New
York City, where her fourth child was born. At first influenced by
the Abstract Expressionists of the 1950s, she painted
non-objectively but soon found the rich thingness of the world
irresistible and her work developed into what she called "painterly
figuration." Her journals and notes reveal the intimate details of
her long mediation between these two commitments. In time she
exhibited regularly at the First Street Gallery in Chelsea and
received praise in such places as The Wall Street Journal, The New
Republic, The New York Times, The Sun, Forbes FYI, and elsewhere.
Today her paintings are in The Museum of the City of New York, The
New York State Museum, Bard College, The Montana Historical
Society, Mills, Wellesley, and Russell Sage colleges, The Montana
Museum of Art, and many other museums and private collections.

JAYWICK SANDS ESTATE has a chequered history. Renowned for its
expanse of golden sand, it has long attracted fisherman and
smugglers. Only in the 20th century, however, did people settle
there, responding to the offer from F.C. Stedman, the original
developer, of chalets for less than GBP50. These were no ordinary
people either, but pioneers in the true sense of the word. Escaping
the drudgery of city life, London's Eastenders found at Jaywick a
place where they were free to build their own homes with their own
hands, unhindered by planners or building societies. They formed
their own Association - a 'local authority' in all respects though
without official status - to look after the residents and the
estate, and with good reason Jaywick became known as 'the happiest
resort on the Essex coast'. This account of Jaywick Sands Estate,
the creation of entrepreneurs, pioneers and carefree holidaymakers,
is an important addition to the published history of this part of
Essex, and will intrigue local historians, residents and visitors
alike.
