Congratulations Arturi!! What an accomplishment indeed!!! A must-have book for many!!
ReplyDeleteWas there a particular reason you ended it at 1970, or dare I ask if you envision a second volume?
cheers from Mona
Thank you Mona. We are planning on writing more books but not a second volume to this book. It is just that for the hundred years 1870 to 1970 there has been very little information available on the artists working during this period. There were many talented artists who painted exceptional and beautiful miniatures but are generally unknown. We hope this book will make later miniatures more collectible.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back guys and congratulations on finalizing what is sure to be a fabulous addition to any miniature art lover's library! We cannot wait to add it to ours so please reserve us a copy!
ReplyDeleteThanks too for helping to bring about more interest in the continued vitality of miniature painting. Too many tend to consider the loss of the miniaturists' functional market to photography as the end of this endearing art form which is clearly not the case as your book will document.
With appreciation, Wes
Thank you both for your support and encouragement. The book is being printed in Lithuania, once it arrives here one will be winging it's way to you!
ReplyDeleteHuge congratulations! Emma
ReplyDeleteThank you Emma. Looking forward to your exhibition in March
ReplyDeleteIf your new book is anything like the last one it will rapidly become a collectors item. Congratulations and best wishes. Bill.
