Pickman Perspectives book i

The Pickman Conservative is dedicated to the task of locating, excavating, restoring, preserving and presenting to an unsuspecting Public the extant work of this forgotten painter of the Bostonian Realist School. Unjustly deleted from the annals of Art History by petty rivals and local critics, Richard Upton Pickman remained largely unknown and unrecognized for over three quarters of a century; in deference to patrons of the Arts who may suffer from faintness of heart or weakness of stomach, the Pickman Conservative is pleased to present this carefully expurgated edition of Pickman Perspectives, handsomely square-bound and printed in a durable yet affordable monochromatic format, with especial care having been taken to digitally obfuscate all of the more prurient details that Pickman’s own artistic honesty could not allow him to omit, so that these simple yet enduring scenes of slavering necrophagy may be enjoyed by the entire family.
