David Bates: The Katrina Paintings
Foreword by Rachael Blackburn Cozad. Text by Carl Little, Barbara O'Brien, Arthur Roger.

Featured image is The Garden District by David Bates, reproduced from David Bates: The Katrina Paintings.
"I felt like there was a lot of rule breaking I was taking with the Katrina body of work: painting a subject while not being there; painting from the TV; painting from photos; painting from the safety of my house in Dallas; covering something horrifically wrong—beautiful paint presenting something so horrific."
