Review # 1 was written on 2010-03-16 00:00:00 Chris Reed Part of what makes Alex Grey such an impressive artist is his clear, unapologetic sincerity. Even though I have been a fan of his visual art for many years, my first reactions to this collection of his written psalms and poetry were mixed. I felt his deep artistic vision lost something in the transfer over to the medium of written language. As I read on, however, I realized that what at first I thought was borderline hokey was only Grey's unbelievably genuine sincerity. Once I shed my cynicism, the book transformed and transformed me.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-01-26 00:00:00 George Wasilyeff This book is pure joy! I love Alex Grey's art and his philosophy of art as expounded in his book, "The Mission of Art." Here, in "Art Psalms," Grey brings the Spirituality of his art home to the reader/viewer by means of art work in gorgeous color, and his "psalms" which are unique, compelling and transformative. I believe that this book is further proof that Alex Grey is one of the most important artists of his time, and maybe of all time. I recommend this book highly, especially in hardcover because it is easier to just open randomly and seek inspiration from where ever you land. As with many other "sacred" books, this book includes a marker ribbon attached to the binding, making it convenient to open to where you were reading or to mark an entry you want to be sure to share with others. If I could I would give this book 10 stars out of five. I want to explain that I did not enter a date for when I finished the book because this is the sort of book with which one is NEVER finished...
