I was recently asked by the artist, Robert Priseman, if I would like to be a book reviewer for a new arts journal, Artfractures - which can be read online. After a bit a humming and haaaing on my part, I finally agreed. The journal has great things in it and is written by people who are qualified to speak about art with authority. I have no formal qualifications in art history, theory or aesthetics. My interest in art (especially contemporary art) is just as a layman. Therefore, it is a huge honour to be asked to do this. My first review of My Name is Charles Saatchi and I am an Artoholic has just been published. I wonder what Invisible Province readers will make of it...

Bon mots again ?
ReplyDeleteGod forbid should your interest be 'just as a layman' then you would be worth your weight in Gold :0)
ReplyDeleteWell done Fr M! For you use of bon mots particularly!
ReplyDeleteDidn't understand much of it but it was enjoyable!
It is a great and as always thorough write up. I am not sure however how good you will be for sales of their book. I think I may give that one a miss.
ReplyDeleteYep very good indeed. Never really cared for the guy, but very interesting to see him as artistic eminence grise, or even grisee!
