| Abstract |
"As inspirational as it is comical, Proceed and be bold! documents the life of Amos Paul Kennedy Jr., a letterpress artist who lives out the secret American Dream of rejecting the establishment and living his art as his life. Whether it's challenging racial assumptions by calling himself a 'humble negro printer, ' or by bringing art to the masses with his affordable, unpretentious posters of wisdom and hilarity, Kennedy's life as an artist is both intriguing and exhilarating. Never has a man in overalls been such an unforgettable example of a life lived fully, honestly and without regret"--Container. |
