RUGGLES STREET

THE LIFE OF AN AMERICAN ARTIST

The dream of artistic success consumed Robert O. Caulfield from childhood. This forthright autobiography charts his odyssey from crushing poverty on the inner-city streets of Roxbury, Massachusetts to international eminence as a best-selling landscape artist. The question, “How do you get there from here?” is revealed in these pages, which chart the events of Robert’s life with warmth and humor. Robert’s mysterious mother disappeared when he was young. He wouldn’t discover what had become of her until many decades later. Robert’s wife Marilyn, with whom he raised five children, and who never lost faith in his talent, was the driving force behind his success. This is the inspiring life story of an artist and the woman he loves not allowing the passage of time to stand in the way of achieving their goals. Reviewer David Kaslow called Ruggles Street “A Bach Fugue of a book.”
