Art Lovers discussion

Hello Art Lovers: I've just written the first full-length biography of the artist, Sam Francis. Light on Fire: The Art and Life of Sam Francis I think many of you would enjoy reading it. It has 21 black and white photographs and 11 color plates. Light on Fire is a groundbreaking biography of one of the celebrated artists of the 20th century, and the American painter who brought the vocabulary of abstract expressionism to Paris. Drawing on exclusive interviews and private correspondence, Gabrielle Selz traces the complex life of a magnetic, globe-trotting artist, who learned to paint while encased in a full-body cast. An intimate portrait of a mesmerizing character, a man who sought to resolve in art the contradictions he couldn’t resolve in life.

Hi Gabrielle!
Thank you for introducing your new book and explaining a little bit what it is about. I like your title!
This is a fine place to post it as it is news...
I just want to maybe suggest a better place to post your book. You can then open your own thread for your book. You could even title your thread after the title of your book (if you want to).
Perhaps a couple of other folders:
