Give me more Mosaic Art Now!
On 26 June I wrote about an organization called Mosaic Art Now . Mosaic Art Now is a publication as well as a web presence and my first issue arrived two weeks ago. Wow. Mosaic Art Now is a four-color, 76-page survey of the best and brightest in the world of contemporary, fine mosaics. It's sitting on my coffee table, but it never stays there for long. I find myself picking it up and reading through it whenever I need a break of a lift.
Mosaic Art Now is edited through Bill Buckingham, Nancie Mills Pipgras and Michael Welch; 3 people with a ardour for the challenge it's as palpable as it's far contagious. The e-book is heavy on pictures, gloriously reproduced photography. In truth the majority of the pages are given to a gallery of best art mosaics. In it, there are more than 30 pages of unbridled mosaic love. Add to that gallery an excellent blend of artist profiles and a definitely thorough mosaic marketplace and the result is a extraordinary useful resource and a welcome addition to my series art books.
Mosaic Art Now , the publication, is available through their website for $12.95. If you're a fan of this at once ancient and modern art form, order a copy.
Here are some highlights shape the gallery. Follow the individual hyperlinks back to the artists' websites and assist these artists!
