COFFEE TABLE BOOK
This oversized coffee table book features more than one hundred sixty paintings,
vignettes, and portraits by the Jersey Shore's premier, neo-primitive folk artist,
Dick LaBonté.
Here are all of LaBonté's nostalgic paintings of turn-of-the-century and present
day life at the Jersey Shore featuring Bay Head, Mantoloking, Point Pleasant
Beach, Barnegat Bay, Spring Lake, Sea Girt, Manasquan, Sea Bright, and
more locations—plus many other scenes taking place in America or the artist's
imagination.
Fans who have seen only a few of LaBonté's paintings in the past will be amazed
at the scope of his body of work presented in this book and realize all the beauty
and fun they've been missing!
Charming and informative descriptions of each image by the artist, a biography,
plus a foreword and introduction to the paintings will further your understanding
of LaBonté's art and life. LaBonté's text is also rich with historical facts about the
Jersey Shore and the locations he paints.
Full of heart and good nature, this book will charm and delight readers of all
ages and bring many hours of warmth, humor, and pleasure. It is a tour de force of
pictorial stories and style—about the Jersey Shore and America—by an artist whose
view of life will be enjoyed for generations to come.
