The Realist

 

5 Star Rating

Review by Emily-Jane Hills Orford
for Readers’ Favorite:

The author sets his protagonist, Leon, against the odds of a society not yet ready to accept a person of mixed race, let alone one with exceptional artistic talent. The setting and the time are well documented with eloquent descriptive narratives.

 

Like Irving Stone’s Lust for Life about Van Gogh, and The Agony and the Ecstasy about Michelangelo, this novel is epic in its in-depth and thorough evaluation of art and the world that influenced art. Told with passion and intuitive insight into the artistic world, The Realist itself is a work of art.
