By Critique that "Riss" (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masterpiece (Hardcover)
In masterpiece, Glover has managed to stumble onto an amazing, thought provoking concept which raises questions about the value and place of contemporary art within our society. Her research and insight into the seven great masterpieces (ranging from Da Vinci to Klimt) is astounding and it's wonderful how she works her life indelibly into the paintings and we take on her eyes.
She decides to sell herself as a work of art and for seven days she will act out one of the seven masterpieces. Yet in exploring the history of the paintings she is forced to confront her own history and those which she thought she'd left behind. However, as a first novel it only survives well because it has grapsed a good idea and her voice and style could use some improvement. Glover has the imagination and the potential to be a great writer but lacks experience to really pull it off. |
