Mackenzie Thorpe: From the Heart

Summary: Mackenzie Thorpe: From the Heart
Review: After a recent trip to the UK, I have seen Thorpe's work gain much attention in the past few months right here in the US. His prints are both captivating and original. I was pleased with the insight From the Heart offers on Thorpe's background and mission as an artist. Thorpe's commentary is witty, personal, endearing, and never pretentious. The art work captured in this collection is vibrant and beautifully arranged--I highly recommend it.

Summary: Nice coffee table book
Review: Having already purchased a few of his prints, my wife and I were looking forward to this book. Although I was somewhat disappointed with the lack of descriptive text (on both Thorpe and his works), I did enjoy seeing quite of few of his earlier works for the first time. If you purchase this book as a conversation piece or coffee table adornment, you should be fully satisfied. If you're looking for more insights into the artist and his work, you may be a bit disappointed.

Summary: A Book I Will Treasure
Review: I have been looking forward to this book since I first saw Mr. Thorpe's work many months ago. I certainly was not disappointed with the artwork selected and the descriptions throughout the book. I certainly would have enjoyed more of an insight into Mr. Thorpe himself, but he can save that for the next one or his biography.

Last month I had the pleasure to meet and speak with Mr. Thorpe at a show in Sausalito, CA. Everything that he is and he believes comes through in his work and on the pages of this beautiful book. This book captures what he believes and what he is. Well done!
