The motivating force behind Final Light was to document Snows visual languageforged early in his career from abstract expressionist influences typified by Willem de Kooning, Joan Mitchell, Robert Motherwell, and Franz Kline, among others. Final Light represents the first book to examine the legacy of this significant Utah educator and painter. Renowned scholars, writers, and activists who are familiar with Snows workmany of whom were his close friendsrecount personal experiences with the artist and delve into his motives, methods, and reputation. The volume not only offers their commentaries, but also contains more than 80 exquisite fullcolor reproductions of Snows paintings, dating from the 1950s until 2009, when he died in an auto accident at the age of eightytwo.A nationally recognized artist, Snow chose to stay in Utah where, when not teaching at the University of Utah, he roamed the southern Utah desert gaining inspiration from the red rock formations, especially the Cockscomb outside his studio near Capitol Reef National Park. Snow said, Every artist probably wonders if he or she made the right decision to dig in to a certain place. He dug into the landscape in and around Southern Utah and never regretted it. Just as Tennessee Williamss South, William Faulkners Mississippi, [or] John Steinbecks West Coast, formed their work, the desert lands of the Colorado Plateau formed Snows. Their sense of place, without provincialism, said Snow is what gives their art its enduring power. Final Light will appeal to art historians and art lovers, especially those interested in abstract expressionism and the art of Utah, the West, and the Southwest.Chosen by 15 Bytes, Utah's art magazine, as the most exceptional art book for 2014.
