NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER “The job is what you do when you are told what to do. The job is showing up at the factory, following instructions, meeting spec, and being managed. Someone can always do your job a little bet- ter or faster or cheaper than you can. The job might be difficult, it might require skill, but it’s a job. Your art is what you do when no one can tell you exactly how to do it. Your art is the act of taking per- sonal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people. I call the process of doing your art ‘the work.’ It’s possible to have a job and do the work, too… The job is not the work.” – Seth Godin, Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?Our mission is to connect and build a bridge between artists and art lovers by providing andpresenting a high quality source of visual art and design through our book, website, magazineand other publications. We are dedicated to bringing happiness and recognition to the artistsand joy, beauty and satisfaction to the art lovers let them be collectors, buyers, galleries, cura-tors or others taking pleasure in art and design.This idea was embraced by 155 artists from 25 countries all over the world and this is why webelieve that Hidden Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook has so much to offer both to the Artistand to the Readers.Georgia SzollosiDirector, editor and curator Hidden Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook 3

I often sacrifice figures by painting only parts of them, so that composition can be even more harmonious.” She often divides her paintings: one pic- ture is a compound of two or more piec- es. Finally the work is put together into the whole from the missing parts of the mosaics. For many years she was paint- ing on wood to use its raw surface, as the most suitable medium for her paint- ings. On her latest paintings she com- bines the canvas with wood and the two media with different material properties will finally fit together organically. The body as a medium of expression and a complex symbol, has remained a sub- ject of her fans. She is preparing her individual unanimous faceless body im- ages by this investigation.

Art critic Emanuel Von Lauenstein Massarani wrote: “What is striking about the art of Analu Mikosz is the extreme coher- ence of style which results from a previous painstaking analysis of forms. Analu Mikosz creates a whole new world, where a sober and geometric landscape comes to life by means of evanescent tones which articulate a chromatic rhythm pattern. Gateways, arches, porticos, insinuate an illusion of depth and a mysterious atmosphere. Her works achieves a consistent symbiosis of two forms of expression: photography and paint- ing.” Catalogued artist, One can find her works in art collections in Eu- rope and Brazil.Cycle Viaductoil on canvasTwo canvases, 1.50x0.60m and one Canvas 1.00x0.60m2007Hidden Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook 31

PhilipLawrenceSherrod www.philipsherrod.com Hiromi Iuchi 79x46 inches 1995Philip Lawrence Sherrod has been paintingraw, earthy expressionist pictures for morethan two decades. ERRATUM: 5*DEC-ADES(!) Now that expressionism is back invogue, one would expect his work to behailed by critics as a typical manifestationof the new spirit, but that hasn’t happened.It may be that his work is too authenticallyexpressionist and that the new fashion inexpressionism calls for a self-conciousnessand hip reference to sources that Sher-rod’s painting doesn’t contain. It isn’t that his work is without sources: Delacroix, Van Gogh, Ensor, Soutine come immediately to mind. And it isn’t that he is naive; like most artists he takes what is useful to him from imagery around him. But his paintings are direct expressions of what is going on inside his mind. They are uncalculated, unedited, and some-times almost unbearably vulgar outpourings of his psyche, diametrically opposed to the contrived emotionalism of the more so- phisticated ’neo-expressionists.’ Sherrod’s paintings/-often embarrass us, for they allow us to peer more deeply into the churning mind of the artist than is comfort- able. There are feel-ings and yearnings revealed that we would,perhaps, rather not know about. But isn’tthat what authentic expressionism is reallyabout? Expressionism is not a particularstyle or manner of painting, but a sponta-neous outpouring of the ideas, images, andemotions at the core of the artist’s life. Thatis what Philip Sherrod is giving us; whetherwe like it or not, whether the critics rec-ognize him or not. It is the only way hecan paint.
