Book Description
Lloyd Mifflin (1846-1921), of Columbia, PA, has been better known as a poet than as a painter. His verse was praised in his lifetime by English & American critics, & he was even acclaimed as ¿America¿s Greatest Sonneteer.¿ Mifflin insisted, however, that he was at heart a painter; but he sold few pictures. The exhibition of his paintings in April 1965 marked the first occasion on which his work had been shown publicly. The canvases which were shown are but a small part of the Wm. Penn Museum¿s collection of Mifflin¿s works: drawings, watercolors, & oils, 14 volumes of his published books, & a number of manuscripts. This catalog provides a brief introduction, not just to the poet Lloyd Mifflin, nor even the painter, but to the whole man. Illustrations.
