David Dubal is best known as a pianist, Juilliard professor, writer, and broadcaster. He has also been a prolific painter and draftsman. This first volume, published by Timp Universal, presents a group of paintings and drawings revealing Dubal's feeling for color, line, composition, and originality of conception.

Dubal agrees with Goethe that people should talk less and draw more-to communicate everything visually. Dubal's advice is to draw each day and you will feel better.

"It is my opinion that an artist must show individuality of style, and the work is unique to him. If I possess such a thing, I could not be happier."

-David Dubal
