New magazine article


An article I wrote has just come out in the June 2017 issue of Fine Art Connoisseur magazine. Pages 50-55 (it's actually the centerfold...woo hoo!) My piece explores and discusses the newest work of artist Alexandra Tyng (which will be on view exhibition at Dowling Walsh Gallery, opening June 2, through June 25th.)

Hope you get a chance to read it!

Latest Magazine Article



My friend Eliza Auth has a lovely exhibit on right now at the Rosenfeld Gallery in Old City Philadelphia. By happy planning and a little luck an article I wrote about her work is now out in the current issue (November/December) of Fine Art Connoisseur magazine. I urge you to go see the show (and buy the magazine..tee hee!) Reprinted below with permission (click to enlarge:)

Art Book Review



I recently had the pleasure of reviewing The Landscapes, by Richard Schmid. A large book, comprised of over 300 reproductions interspersed with Mr.Schmid's commentary and trenchant observations. This is not a How-To book, but rather a retrospective of a lifetime of landscape painting work. Mr. Schmid has two more books in this series planned, one of still life and one of figures and portraits.
My review is entitled A Life in Landscape and is in the current issue of Fine Art Connoisseur, July August 2010.

Review of Two Art Books



A Tale of Two Art Books
I was surprised and delighted to find that the magazine kept my somewhat facetious working title as the print title for this review! Had I been really following the Dickens formula I would have begun the review with "It was the best of books, it was the worst of books..." but in fact both books are wonderful! Very different from each other, but each is excellent in its own way. Classical Painting Atelier by Juliette Aristides and Alla Prima by Al Gury



This just came out in Fine Art Connoisseur, October 2009, page 38.
