Book Overview
Flamboyant hues and a bold mixed-media style make for a stunning visual tribute to the city of San Antonio. Quotes and captions accompany over 80 color reproductions of paintings by W. B. Thompson, whose influences include Vincent van Gogh and fauvist Raoul Dufy. San Antonio's loveliest attractions are portrayed, including the old Catholic missions, cobblestone lined Paseo del Rio, and the Governor's Palace, labeled the most beautiful building in San Antonio by National Geographic. Renditions of a local rodeo and a taqueria on the historic West Side assure that the full flavors and authenticity of this laid-back city come through. An appendix provides additional background on each painting.

Beautiful book and great artist
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I got this book as a Christmas present, as the giver knew of my affection for Mr. Thompson's art. It captures the colors and style of San Antonio and the Southwest extremely well.
Great art from a great artist

I was fortunate enough to attend college with the artist, Bill Thompson, and see his work back in the day. It's a pleasure to see his beautiful representations of this wonderful city, and this book will be a wonderful remembrance for anyone who's visited San Antonio or wants to.
A beautiful and colorful book.

This book is a wonderful depiction of San Antonio interpreted through the artist's unique and bold style. A great coffee table book, gift for anyone who collects WB Thomson's work or has a connection to San Antonio.
