Stephen Elliott, President, New York State Historical Association and Fenimore Art Museum, Cooperstown, New York "To have in one place a comprehensive exploration of Richard Andrew – painter, teacher and lecturer – is a remarkable achievement. His light-filled landscapes, seascapes, and figurative works are proof of his extraordinary talents as an important and significant American Artist. The Whistler House Museum of Art is proud to have a selection of his works in our Permanent Collection." --Michael H. Lally, Executive Director, Whistler House Museum of Art "Richard Andrew's paintings and drawings are truly remarkable, and thus it's exciting to discover a study such as this a true work of love which brings together his accomplishments and honors his achievements." --Henry Adams, Ph.D, Professor of American Art, Case Western Reserve University "By showing Richard Andrew to have been a supremely talented portraitist, a powerful muralist, a superb draughtsman, and a beloved teacher, this wonderful book that has been written, researched, and photographed by three generations of his descendants, places Andrew in the pantheon of Cape Ann Artists where he always belonged." --Paul Brodeur, Staff Writer of The New Yorker and author of a dozen books "Every now and then, we discover a writer, artist, or musician whose work we never knew yet who stays with us for life. Richard Andrew is such a figure, and the creative team which introduces him to us has done a masterful job. Rich with visual imagery, Richard Andrew: 'Called to Paint' includes not only his paintings but also his working drawings, which allows the reader to witness the creative process at work. This biography belongs in art libraries and museums throughout the world and certainly is of regional interest to general readers in New England." --Stephen B. Goddard, Author of "Getting There"
