Simon of New Orleans is a celebration of the exuberant, sumptuous, energetic work of the Artist synonymous with his adopted hometown. It's difficult to wander around New Orleans without stumbling across the explosions of color and whimsy that are the trademarks of a Simon piece. In fact, the scope of his work is unparalleled. Private collectors snap up pieces as soon as the paint is dry. Simon has endeared himself to locals and tourists alike, and they have responded to the unpretentious wit that is the hallmark of his art.

This lushly illustrated work is not just a compendium of Morrison’s art: it is the story of a humble man with a deep passion for his heritage and a drive to ensure a thriving future for his people. With more than 100 images of Morrison’s works and a foreword by Principal Chief Bill John Baker, this volume is a beautiful and invaluable resource.
