From dust jacket back panel: "Always rooted in landscape, Amenoff has here brought the sky down to earth and ground starlight into pigment. These visionary paintings echo the work of Charles Burchfield and Martin Johnson Heade, but the lavish use of paint, their exuberance ('Exuberance is Beauty' wrote Blake) is all Amenoff."
