NOTICE!

For some reason I can add sidebars, but not new posts. Please check back later. I have been working on a variety of things including switching my blog soon from this one, which was set up with my now-defunct West Wisconsin Telcom account. I hope to have my new blog through Gmail up soon. I will provide a link and announcement when I've got everything straight. 7/2/11

Recently read: Holly Harrison’s Mixed-Media Collage




This is yet another of the beautifully illustrated art books that I’ve become addicted to since starting to collage. The subtitle of this one by Harrison is An Exploration of Contemporary Artists, Methods, and Materials. Like the other art books I’ve reviewed, this is a visual feast. The book starts with profiles of five contemporary mixed-media artists: Bedingfield, Di Pirro, Grasdal, MCartney and Moore. A question & answer format is blended with in-depth studies of their techniques. The second part of the book takes a look at a broader range of artists and techniques, and includes a chapter on artists and the Internet—handy in this day and age!
