A straightforward telling of Shinn's life by an aficionado. She relies throughout on a lot of other material, quoting liberally from Ira Glackens and others, though she did do some primary research, including interviewing Shinn's daughter.
Shinn was one of the most spread-out talents of the early 20th Century art scene, painting, illustrating, writing plays and novels, decorating houses, and even serving as art director on several early silent films. DeShazo does a great job of providing enough information to get one excited about learning more about Shinn, though I suspect she just scratched the surface.
The book has reproductions of a lot of Shinn's work throughout, with about 40% in color and 60% in B&W.
