The writer's brush

Sinopse

"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."--Jacket.
