The Charlotte Moser biography, Clyde Connell: The Art and Life of a Louisiana Woman (paperback) is a bargain at Amazon.com and a terrific and essential book.
Another of the great books on Clyde is the exhibition catalog called Clyde Connell, Daughter of the Bayou, edited by Meadows Museum director Diane DuFilho. It is rich in photos and enticing in design. Daughter of the Bayou features an article by Lucy Lippard called "At Home in Art," an interview by Michael Sartisky called "Abstracting the Essence," and an extensive "A Catalog of Works." There are 68 pages.
Meadows Museum of Art, Centenary College, may have copies and / or may have references to people who trade in the copies of the paperback catalog, published in 2000.
