Reviews

When Emily Dickinson wrote "There's a Certain Slant of Light, Winter Afternoons," the image was irresistible. The light-filled paintings of 109 artists in this work elicit emotional responses that one need not be a poet to respond to. Each artist in this compendium offers thoughts on subject and technique, and editor Wolf tries to put the ineffable-the mysticism and wonder of light-into words. Patricia Monahan's Light in Watercolour (Studio Vista, 1996) may be more practical in explaining light on water, trees, and the like, but Wolf's book is poetry and inspiration on paper.
