About the Book
“Alice” is a personal account of the artist’s life and work that draws on unpublished papers, letters, and interviews. It is enriched by over 200 illustrations of paintings, prints, sketches, and photographs, many shared for the first time. This hardcover volume about Alice Smith is both an important contribution to Southern art scholarship and a gorgeous addition to the bookshelves of art and history lovers.
Alice is available in hardcover for $60.00 at the Middleton Place store, selected area bookstores and online. Net proceeds from the sale of the book benefit Middleton Place Foundation and its mission to inspire, educate, and enact positive change through an understanding of American history. Middleton Place Foundation would like to thank those who made this book possible, with particular thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Louis Wright.
