POP WIENER: Naive Painter • Joanne Bock
University of Massachusetts Press / 1974Hardcover / 178 pages / First edition
This is a study of the life and work of Pop Wiener, a naive painter, who was born in Russia in 1886 and emigrated to the United States in 1901. This book emphasizes the relationship between his life and work. It shows how the joyfully colored paintings of a man who did not start painting until age sixty five are more meaningful in the context of his life.
