family found: the lifetime obsession of a self-taught artist, morton bartlett

first edition, 1994.

from the intro: "the bartlett collection of sculptures and photographs represents not only a considerable artistic discovery, but a singular expression of american genius. half lifesize to scale, the sculpted group of twelve teenage girls and three accompanying boys, (the latter recognizably self portraits), was created by morton bartlett, a reclusive boston bachelor few knew. these sculptures were how he idealized an unattainable world that eluded him."
