Der Verlag über das Buch
To emphasize the visual qualities of the book
Perhaps what has been overlooked -or rather not adequately noted - in the Reviews and jacket commentary is the the veery powerful impact of Silverman's paintings. They are direct representations of a visual world that is are at once beautiful and thought provoking. They do not need crtical commentary to be viewed by the reader and yet they inspire immediate and touching emotional responses; in short the paintings evoke the way we experience everyday life without trivial or repetetive visual recreations of that life. The reproductions of the paintings are equally beautiful and the artist took special pains to oversee the accuracy of the color. His comments on the paintings in the full catalog of the book are particulalry appealing, since the language he uses is clear, straightfoward and, like his work, insightful. We feel this book to be an eye opener with respect to the pictorial riches in it and in contrast to much of what passes for "high art" these days. We are extremely proud to be a part of this volume.

This is the story of a man's quest for truth in art in spite of a country's infatuation with its new found Modern Art. I found the book to be BEAUTIFUL, COMPELLING, ILLUMINATING, and INSPIRING...filled with IMAGES OF the LOVE that Mr Silverman has for his subjects, his kind & curious Humanist "take" on the World, and his incredible volume of awe inspiring work. He has crossed the barriers of "illustration" showing us that Art is Art when "spoken" by the true voice.

Sight and Insight! As a painter this book is invaluable to me, as an appreciator of art and a viewer it is an opportunity to view some of the most magnificent and masterfully executed paintings all bound together in a spectacular reproduction of artwork in itself. The execution in his draftsmanship, the use of form and the genius of the use of color by Mr. Silverman is incredible to behold. The narrative is clear and thoughfully written. I have purchased not just one book but two, one for use in my studio as a reference book. The other is a special edition signed by the Master. All who pick up the book have a delightful treat in store for them, for each time one gazes at his art, there are new discoveries to be made. As an artist I am in awe and hold a great deal of admiration and respect for his art, to have this treasure to enjoy and learn from in the form of a book is indeed a feast.

As the art director of the Merrill-Johnson Gallery, we are privileged to exhibit Mr. Silverman's work including several of the paintings in the book, "Sight and Insight". The paintings depicted in the book are fine example of the work that has made Mr. Silverman one of America's most respected realist painters. There are many books that are "how-to" paint (in fact Silverman has written two wonderful ones himself), but there are few "why-tos." "Sight and Insight" provides the reader an insight into the interpretive and artistic motivations behind his paintings. The book deserves to be in every serious art book collection for both the artist and the art appreciator.
