Benito Juarez to Chang Kai-Shek: Tom Lea's Historic Portraits and the Stories Behind Them, by Adair Margo, president of the Tom Lea Institute.
Tom Lea did not paint portraits for hire, once telling a friend that "to one one of my portraits, you don't have to be rich, just interesting." Over his lifetime, Lea painted some of the world's most interesting personalities including General Claire Chennault, Jimmy Doolittle, and Madame and Generalissimo Chaing Kai-Shek. He also painted close friends J. Frank Dobie, Bill Burrows, Charles Leavell, Carl Hertzog and Catalan sculptor Urbici Soler. Margo, who recorded Lea's oral history in 1993, will relay the reverence Lea felt for portraiture ad the personalities behind the faces he chose to paint.
