"Leonard Folgarait´s elegant book signals the convergence of a wide span of intellectual and physical activities in 1909, at a moment when painting and photography offered new possibilities to represent time and space, and give material form to memory. Rarely does analytical writing merge form wih content as successfully as Folgarait has done in ´Painting 1909´."- Jams (Jim) Housefield, Assoaciate Professor Department of Design, University of California, Davis.
