Welcome to After the Art’s fifth — and first anniversary! — issue.
We hope you enjoy these four essays:
“The Poesy and the Ecstasy” by Dana Delibovi
“Goya’s Red Boy” by Melinda Giordano
“An Aerial View: Jerry Takigawa’s F-374″ by Beth McDermott
“New Gad” by Sarah Einstein
And in honor of our first anniversary we’ve added something new — a book review/essay:
“Actual Enjoyment” by Katharine Coldiron
We’ve also started a Facebook page, which you can follow for posts about future issues (of course) but also exhibits, articles, books, essays and sites that might be of interest.

After the Art publishes personal review essays that explore the ways reading and art enrich each other. If you’re interested in submitting, please read our guidelines.
