Blair has been <i>so</i> referenced and trumpeted that she'd be overexposed--IF she was a whit less than what she was, which really is authentic genius. As it is, you just can't get enough. What an artist. I find I’m just staring at the carpet, the drapes, the values–and that’s not even scratching the surface of the overall character impact!

I never saw an original of Master Mary, in these generous scans one can see the gouache and the paper texture. My favorite in the Canemaker book was always the stepsisters made almost without pushing up the pencil. Muchas Gracias Amid!
