"The artist beckons the viewer to make a personal connection to isolation and stillness."  "A personal friend of the artist for more than a decade, Conrad uses a narrative form that combines incisive art historical observation with details of Register's early life..." This monograph, with more than 170 color plates, was published at the time of a traveling retrospective exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Art and Register's 60th birthday.
