KERSHISNIK: Painting From Life

KERSHISNIK: Painting From Life features more than one hundred paintings in full color, as well as images of the artist at work. Three exceptional writers commented on the works. Jacquelyn Mitchard, whose best-selling novels touch on similar themes of human triumphs and frailty, provides an introduction. Poet and short story writer Leslie Norris describes a visit to Kershisnik's studio Finally. Mark Magleby, an art historian who has followed the career of this higher appealing artist for two decades, contributes fascinating observations on the artist and his oeuvre. Magleby is a keen interpreter of Kershisnik's work; as he notes. "The paintings of Brian Kershisnik offer insight into a personal space echoing our own experience, a landscape where life's vicissitudes sometimes delay our well-meaning ambitions. His portrayal of this parallel existence is rendered with unabashed love for the players, and also for the character and potencies of paint."
