New Book:
*Why was Rembrandt's Danae stabbed?
*Where is the line between art and porn and who has the right to determine the distinction?
*Who is responsible for feelings or actions evoked by a work of art--the artist or the viewer?
These are just some of the questions brought to light in this stunning debut novel by Miranda Beverly-Whittemore.
Two precocious young girls pose as figurative models for a family friend and end up the center of controversy that has the characters in this novel tackling the question, "What is art?" A brilliant combination of art history, tragedy, philosophy, mystery, this complex plot is woven with expert hands.
Available in February, 2005, The Effects of Light is a must read.
