"Donald Friedman's internationally acclaimed book, The Writer's Brush: Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture by Writers, brought together in one collection the visual art of more than 200 of the world's great writers. To celebrate its publication, he organized a modest exhibition of writer-art which, after enlisting rare bookseller and art dealer John Wronoski for help, was enlarged to include dozens of poets and writers somehow omitted from the book, and became a museum-scale show. The catalogue documents that historic exhibition. It opened at Anita Shapolsky Gallery in New York. [...] 264 pieces of art by 139 poets and writers were displayed , making it the most extensive show of writer-art ever mounted." --From dust jacket.

"One of the most exciting recent developments in the study of Chinese literature has been the rediscovery of an extremely rich and diverse tradition of women’s writing of the imperial period (221 B.C.E.–1911 C.E.). Many of these writings are of considerable literary quality. Others provide us with moving insights into the lives and feelings of a surprisingly diverse group of women living in Confucian China, a society that perhaps more than any other is known for its patriarchal tradition.Because of the burgeoning interest in the study of both premodern and modern women in China, several scholarly books, articles, and even anthologies of women’s poetry have been published in the last two decades. This anthology differs from previous works by offering a glimpse of women’s writings not only in poetry but in other genres as well, including essays and letters, drama, religious writing, and narrative fiction.The authors have presented the selections within their respective biographical and historical contexts. This comprehensive approach helps to clarify traditional Chinese ideas on the nature and function of literature as well as on the role of the woman writer."

A scintillating glimpse into the lives of acclaimed writers and artists and their inspiring, often surprising convergences, from the author of Monsieur Proust's Library With the wit and penetration well known to readers of Anka Muhlstein’s previous books, The Pen and the Brush revisits the delights of the French novel. This time she focuses on late 19th- and 20th-century writers--Balzac, Zola, Proust, Huysmans, and Maupassant--through the lens of their passionate involvement with the fine arts. She delves into the crucial role that painters play as characters in their novels, which she pairs with an exploration of the profound influence that painting exercised on the novelists' techniques, offering an intimate view of the intertwined worlds of painters and writers at the time. Muhlstein's deftly chosen vignettes bring to life a portrait of the nineteenth century's tight-knit artistic community, where Cézanne and Zola befriended each other as boys and Balzac yearned for the approval of Delacroix. She leads the reader on a journey of spontaneous discovery as she explores how a great painting can open a mind and spark creative fire.

French symbolist artist Odilon Redon (1840–1916) seemed to thrive at the intersection of literature and art. Known as “the painter-writer,” he drew on the works of Poe, Baudelaire, Flaubert, and Mallarmé for his subject matter. And yet he concluded that visual art has nothing to do with literature. Examining this apparent contradiction, The Brush and the Pen transforms the way we understand Redon’s career and brings to life the interaction between writers and artists in fin-de-siècle Paris. Dario Gamboni tracks Redon’s evolution from collaboration with the writers of symbolism and decadence to a defense of the autonomy of the visual arts. He argues that Redon’s conversion was the symptom of a mounting crisis in the relationship between artists and writers, provoked at the turn of the century by the growing power of art criticism that foreshadowed the modernist separation of the arts into intractable fields. In addition to being a distinguished study of this provocative artist, The Brush and the Pen offers a critical reappraisal of the interaction of art, writing, criticism, and government institutions in late nineteenth-century France.

Oei is the daughter of the great Japanese printmaker Hokusai. Long consigned to a minor role as gloomy sidekick, she is barely a footnote in the historical record. Here, Oei recounts her life with one of the great eccentrics of the 19th century. Dodging the Shogun's spies, she and Hokusai live amongst actors, novelists, tattoo artists and prostitutes, making the exquisite pictures that define their time. Disguised, they escape the city gates to view waves and Mount Fuji. But they return to enchanting, dangerous Edo (Tokyo), the largest city in the world. Wielding her brush, Oei defies all expectations of womanhood-- all but one. She is dutiful until death to the exasperating father who created her and, ultimately, steals her future. A breathtaking work of imagination, The Ghost Brush illuminates the most tender and ambiguous love of all--that between father and daughter.

The Writer's Brush The Writer's Brush is an anthology compiled by the Golden Pen Writers Guild, a group of authors, poets, and writers who have been meeting weekly for 22 years. The group met in person until the pandemic in March of 2020. Since that day, the Golden Pen Writers Guild has been meeting online by group video class. This has allowed them to continue weekly meetings and also allowed writers from other parts of the country to join them. Writers from other parts of California, Texas, Michigan, Florida, and New Jersey have made their way to weekly classes and made friends among the group. Over the years, writers have come and gone, however many have been participating for 20 years or more. A few have been in the group since its inception. The age range 16 and 96. Golden Pen Writers Guild Anthologies The Writer's Brush is the group's 9th anthology. Since 2003, they have compiled works of fiction and nonfiction, poetry and prose and there has been a heavy emphasis on memoir. Students and members of the group have not only written but also edited their works as part of each project. The books have been published by the group's founder and facilitator, Judith Cassis through her company, Writer to Writer. Judith is a New York Times/LA Times bestselling ghostwriter and book coach. What is Creative Writing? Creative Writing helps us understand and appreciate our innermost thoughts and communicate them from our perspectives. Works can be fiction or nonfiction; humorous or sad; drawn from imagination or based on a true story. An entire spectrum of feelings can be brushed onto a book's pages in the same way a painter brushes colors onto a canvas. Poetry is one form of creative expression. Poems provide a window into the heart and soul of the poet and articulate their ideas and views of the world. Poetry creates social impact. It heals. There is no right and wrong in poetry. Memoir is a written narrative from the author's perspective, highlighting specific life experiences, or moments in time. It is personal and subjective; humorous or heart-rendering. It also heals and offers resolution as the writer expresses in words. For two decades, the Golden Pen Writers Guild has shared works in nine anthologies and produced public performances. We offer The Writer's Brush and hope you enjoy reading our poetry, prose, and stories-fiction, nonfiction, and memoir. We hope it encourages readers to pick up a pen and write. Twenty two years is a long time and to keep things interesting and help the writers grow, they built their skills in other ways. Along with various trainings in creative writing, members of the Golden Pen Writers Guild have also dabbled in other forms of writing and genres, such as writing reviews, radio commercials, interviews, reports, resumes, single-act playwriting, eBook production, flash fiction and more. They have been given the opportunity to participate in the Los Angeles Festival of Books (2016), The Santa Clarita Library Authors events, and an advanced writer's course offered by WritertoWriter.com (2015-2018). More than 20 students of the Golden Pen Writers Guild have published their own books; some more than one.

Tim Olsen is the son of arguably Australia's greatest living artist, Dr John Olsen. Son of the Brush is his fascinating, candid memoir of what it was like to grow up in the shadow of artistic genius, with all its wonder, excitement and bitter disappointments. Tim's childhood was dominated by his father's work, which took the family to Europe and to communities around Australia as John sought inspiration and artistic fellowship. Wine, food, conversation and the emerging sexual freedom of the 1960s wove a pattern of life for the family. It was both the best and worst of childhoods, filled with vibrancy and stimulation, yet fraught with anxiety and eventual sadness as John separated from Tim's mother Valerie and moved away from the family. The course of Tim's life has been set by the experiences of his childhood, and by the passion for art he inherited from both his parents (his mother was an acclaimed painter in her own right). His life has always been about art, although he has followed a different path from his parents. Having overcome and recovered from addiction, Tim is today one of Australia's most respected gallery owners, with a knowledge of art and artists forged from what is literally a lifetime immersed in the art world. Son of the Brush is a memoir about a son and his father, and what it takes to forge your own identity and chart your own course in life, but it is also about the wider world of art, artists and the joy, inspiration and sacrifices of the creative life.

Since she went straight, Annie Kincaid’s been applying her genius for fine art forgery to her own faux finishing business in San Francisco. She hasn’t seen the inside of a jail cell since she was seventeen, although sometimes it takes all of her arts—fine or otherwise—to keep it that way… Annie knows that art security can be inadequate, but it’s crazy to think that an Old Master painting could be hanging unguarded in the local columbarium where she’s doing restoration work. Still, when she gets a tip that the chapel’s copy of Raphael’s exquisite La Fornarina might be the real thing, Annie has to take a look. And when she runs into a certain sexy art thief on the premises, alarm bells go off in her head as well as her heart. Tired of being an art world pariah, Annie hopes that if she can help return the masterpiece to Italy, she’ll finally be redeemed. But when murder enters the picture, Annie realizes that it won’t be so easy to put things at the cemetery to rest… INCLUDES ART TIPS!
