art, politics and philosophy,
By Andrea Pagnes "AP" (Florence, Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marlie Burton-Roche: Landscape & Bread (Masters of Today) (Hardcover)
World of Art contemporary artists book series, in fact, is nothing other than a reflection of the idea or philosophy of a transversal, complex and at times even incomprehensible our cultural era, to provide innovative spatial dimensions, new temporal dynamics in book form.Andrea Pagnes, art critic

definately not landscape painting,
By Dr. Joe "Dr. Joe" (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marlie Burton-Roche: Landscape & Bread (Masters of Today) (Hardcover)
Marlie Burton-Roche is reknowned internationally for both her political activism and her exceptional artwork, but gets undeservedly little press at home. Her art, powerful abstract weddings of what seem to be visceral biology and mettalurgy, is clearly informed by her experiences during her longstanding work for democracy and social justice in El Salvador. This book contains high quality reproductions of her art created over many years, and focusses on her oils and mixed media pieces. The art is moving and disquieting, as is the text, which describes her experiences in the struggle against the forces of repression and tyrrany.Both the art and the text have a high intellectual and emotional charge. If Chomsky is on your bookshelf, and Cockburn in your CD player, Burton-Roche belongs on your coffee table.

This review is from: Marlie Burton-Roche: Landscape & Bread (Masters of Today) (Hardcover)
Dear Amazon: I am the author of the book Landscape and Bread and I cannot believe that you have listed my book under "Counterinsurgency Arts & Photography." PLEASE remove my book from that category. The quote you have used from my book - page 16 - should read: "The U.S. government's counterinsurgency package was welcomed by the Salvadoran wealthy ruling class and the U.S. pretext of 'containing communism' in El Salvador was used to justify gross violations of human rights by the armed forces."My book is the exact opposite of pro-counterinsurgency! Perhaps you have a category for "Insurgency Arts and Photography." Put me there. Marlie Burton-Roche
