Crony Books announces the launch of the latest collection of Greg Masters’ critical writing, For the Artists: Critical Writing, Volume 3. The bookassembles book reviews and assessments of art shows written for a number of publications over the past decade.
Included are reviews of exhibitions by painters Matthew Wong and Louise Hamlin, an essay on the work of Dutch photographer Gerard Petrus Fieret; and dozens of book reviews from not only mainstream publishers but a wide variety of independent and small press publishers.
All to champion the work of writers and artists deserving of wider acclaim. “My crusade,” says Masters, “aims to amplify their resonance by, at the least, introducing them to eyes open to suggestion.”
This is the 12th book of Greg Masters’ writing issued by Crony Books. The 88-page paperback (978-0-9974285-4-4) is available for $14.99 from BookBaby, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other online retailers. The ebook version (978-0-9974285-5-1) is available for $3.99 from BookBaby and online retailers.
