The Art of J. Barry Hanshaw: Forty Favorite Works, With Reflections from the Artist (2009) is a beautifully presented hardcover book showcasing the atmospheric seascapes and evocative artwork of J. Barry Hanshaw. This edition features full-color reproductions of forty selected paintings, accompanied by insightful reflections from the artist himself.

This copy includes a personal inscription on the front endpaper, dated October 1, 2012, gifting the book to individuals named Henry and Jan. The inscription is signed by someone named Robert Chin, which may indicate provenance or personal significance but does not appear to be the artist’s signature.

Condition Notes:

• Dust jacket shows light edge wear, small creases, and mild shelf wear, especially at the bottom edge and corners.

• Interior pages are clean and unmarked, aside from the inscription on the first blank page.

• Spine and binding are intact and tight.

• No foxing, stains, or loose pages observed.

A desirable volume for collectors of contemporary seascape art or admirers of Hanshaw’s work.
