Do not regret that I spent a couple of minutes to read your blog. Write often, even inevitably'll come to read something new.

I would have added something of course, but in fact said and written about almost everything.

Strange but true. Your resource is expensive. At least, at its auction it could sell for good money.

Informative, but not convincing. Something is missing, and what do not understand. But I will say frankly: — light and benevolent thoughts.

Aha, now it is clear ... And then I just not very much and did not understand where is the link with the very title ...

Carole,

I think of it as a fairly personal book that makes no attempt to cover all of modern realists, or even a fair representation of them. There are plenty of people not represented in this book who would deserve to be in any volume that attempted to survey modern classical realists whose work derrives from an atelier tradition. On the other hand, so far as I know, neither Freud nor Saville quite fit into that category. Aristedes, however, certainly seems more familiar with modern Americans than modern Europeans.

As far as her book on drawing goes, I have not seen it, so I could not tell you if it follows the same format.

It is a fabulous book - my only criticism being, that English artists such as Lucien Freud and Jenny Saville are not featured.

However, it 'opened my eyes' to some American artists that I was not yet aware of.

I am shortly purposing to purchase the drawing book by the same author, but do you know, if is it written in the same format - i.e does it include features on particular artists towards the end.

Belatedly, good to see the blog back up.i've read adn appriciated you on the web since seeing you on Cennini. To the point today, thanks for the review. I've seen the book and read recommendations from people I expected to like it without much thought. You're opinion I trust to be reasonably objective. I have about 1400 books catalogued in my library and about 200 of them are art books. After reading this I think I will add Aristedes to the shelf.

Thanks, Steve Baker
