Wood Storms, Wild Canvas: The Art of Godfrey Stephens “Godfrey Stephens stamps his personality on every beautiful thing that his fertile genius produces. When you encounter one of his paintings or monumental abstract wood carvings or one of his junk-rigged boats, you know who made it at once. All his work is unique, one-of-a-kind. This book documents that genius for, incredibly, the first time.” – Peter Grant, historian
