Michael Newberry is the author of art books that bridge art history, philosophy, color theory, criticism, and personal memoir, offering an original, deeply informed perspective drawn from over fifty years as a figurative artist. He unpacks how great art is the technology of the soul: built from technique, psychology, thought, perception, and the artist's sense of life. His books include Evolution Through Art, Newberry Color Theory, Art: Modern, Postmodern, and Beyond (with Stephen Hicks), The Art Studio Companion, and Pandora’s Box and Other Essays. These works draw readers into the hidden language of art and let them experience it as a powerful, meaningful force in their lives.
