Summary:"Other than the drawings for his autobiography Bound for Glory, few have seen Guthrie's art. This is because most of it is inextricably bound into the diaries and work-books into which he poured his images, and which are presented here for the first time." "Guthrie worked as a commercial artist, illustrating album covers, books, and newspaper columns, and kept a daily record of his life, and of American life, in thousands of pictures. Some complement songwriting in such a fluid way that they often appear interwoven with handwritten lyrics. The stinging honesty, humor, and wit found in his music are also to be found in his art, layering our understanding of his social, political, and spiritual life."--Jacket.
