In this gorgeous volume, Michael J. Russo charts Martin Barooshian’s creative and technical development and presents the definitive catalogue of his mid-century graphic works, reproducing in full-color nearly 300 etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts.

Too young to be a member of the first wave of surrealists and too independent to jump on the abstract expressionism or pop bandwagons, Barooshian struck out on his own path, emerging as a singular painter and printmaker.

Through a decade of research, Russo illuminates Barooshian’s mysterious and wonderful mind, uncovering visionary worlds which explore the depths of human experience. Weaving his personal relationship with Barooshian, interviews with friends and family, and public and private archives, Russo provides a fully-realized view of Barooshian the artists and the man.
