Lincoln Perry is justly celebrated for his murals and edgy narrative figure paintings, with their saturated palette and multifaceted architectural compositions--Poussin refracted through de Chirico. This beautiful new book showcases his images of Charlottesville, Virginia--many of them multipanel compositions featuring the University of Virginia and its environs--accompanied by an essay and interview by his wife, the writer Ann Beattie.

Perry's mural The Student's Progress, which depicts a woman's education and social experience from matriculation through graduation, is familiar to U.Va. students, faculty, and visitors, but Perry has been painting Charlottesville subjects on and off since 1985, when he first moved to town. From his early explorations of the complex relationships between professors and students, played out against the backdrop of Jefferson's Lawn, through his intriguing depictions of the city's domestic interiors, buildings, and streets, Perry illuminates a different side of a place widely appreciated for its history and natural beauty.

Charlottesville, writes Beattie, "both disturbs and calls to Perry] it's a paradoxically comfortable and uncomfortable not-quite-home he has been drawn to many times for reasons he can't easily articulate.... I think that Lincoln likes the town's quirkiness and its lack of uniformity. It's also a place that allows him to practice the x-ray vision so many visual people have for underpinnings: the contradictions that can be drawn upon and aesthetically dramatized.... The place sparks his imagination, and with his paintbrush, he sparks it, charging the air with a bit of unexpected--but very recognizable--light."

Together, Perry and Beattie give us a view of Charlottesville, of place and artistic production, that carries with it the warmth of recognition and the thrill of discovery.

Good quality and handy
Color: White, Size: 5 layer
Really pretty in person, just as the photo. It feels good quality, and the drawers slide easily. It’s amazing for organizing jewelry and pretty well spaced out.

Pretty jewelry box
Color: Pure White, Size: 3 layer
Perfect size and space. Love the clear top. It’s pretty. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the drawer handles. There is not much to the handles. Hard to grip when you open a drawer.

Highly Recommend
Color: Pure White, Size: 4 layer
This jewelry box hold so much and looks so nice sitting out. My jewelry was exposed on hangers and trays before, so I am very happy to have it hidden and organized. I was hesitant to buy a jewelry box online but this one made me so glad that I did. I have not had any issues with it.
