Byzantine Butterflies: The Folk Paintings of Peter Contis and Helen Contis; Greek Immigrants to America

The folk paintings of Peter Contis and Helen Contis depict quite a different Pittsburgh setting than one could envision from modern images: Lewis' associations with the immigrant folk artists provides plenty of detailed insights on how their backgrounds as self-taught painters blended with their unique vision of the area to produce startlingly different views. Plenty of color examples of their works accompanies an even stronger, in-depth and personal exploration of the Contis' lives and perspectives. -- Midwest Book Review
