FAIRFIELD PORTER was a Realist painter in the midst of the Abstract Expressionist movement.

He once remarked of Vuillard, ?what he's doing seems ordinary, but the extraordinary is everywhere.? His friends included Alfred Stieglitz, William de Kooning and Kenneth Rexroth. In his own work as a critic, Porter is revealed as a fascinating, talented, but troubled man who lived a highly politicized, though bohemian life.Porter, Fairfield is the author of 'Art in Its Own Terms Selected Criticism' with ISBN 9781559213257 and ISBN 1559213256.
