I loved Broken Colors, it went into my heart and stayed there. —Vanessa Redgrave A wonderful love story, over the years and across worlds – about a woman and her art. Zackheim understands both from lived experience and writes about them with profound passion and compassion. –Lucy R. Lippard, author of The Pink Glass Swan: Selected Essays on Feminist Art. I loved the way she describes the process of making art, a rarity in literature. –Joyce Kozloff A profoundly original, beautifully written work, so emotionally accurate that it tears at the heart. I read it without stopping. —Gerald Stern This is a beautiful novel, sometimes comic and always wise. Visual artist Zackheim … imbues the novel with her deep knowledge of the art world, from techniques to agents to the world of galleries. —Library Journal With soaring Lyricism, Zackheim limns an exquisitely haunting portrait of an indelibly scarred, yet deeply passionate woman. —Booklist Zackheim delivers the epic life of a woman whose art and survival become ever more tightly bound with the passing years. —Publishers Weekly BROKEN COLORS had all the thrills and sensuality and obsessiveness and excitement and pathos and struggle of the artist's life. and more so, as the artist is female. –Helene Aylon Emotional, passionate, and introspective, Broken Colors is the one-of-a-kind tale of a shining life's multifaceted journey. –The Midwest Book Review. 02/ |
