In An Artist Teaches: Reflections on the Art of Painting , we discover the revolutionary approach that Leffel brings to the classical tradition of painting. In a departure from the conventional emphasis on technique, Leffel stresses the "visual concept" that must first exist in the painter's mind. It is upon this singular concept, Leffel argues, that the structure and framework of the painting depend—and without which the elements of technique cannot achieve their most profound qualities.
