High-quality images alternate with essays by the three curators. While Brophy’s text focuses on the historical and artistic context of New Bedford, Broun gives an analysis of Ryder’s work and the effect of his paintings on viewers. As she writes, Ryder’s artworks 'reveal their allure slowly over time, after repeated looking,' echoing the artist’s own slow labor. Agee’s essay (like his curation) focuses on Ryder’s legacy: 'His influence through generations of artists has often been quiet, even invisible, like an underground stream, but nevertheless one that flows steadily.' Agee explains that Ryder’s paintings have attracted artists by giving them 'permission to feel again, to break free of the chains of theory.' This license for freedom and individuality was also felt by painter Peter Shear, who describes Ryder’s work as a 'fortunate place to get lost at a moment when, like all young artists, I was searching for the permission to be myself.'"" —THE BROOKLYN RAIL With color illustrations as well as insightful essays by Christina Connett Brophy, Elizabeth Broun, and William C.
