(Savannah, Ga., USA)--As summer 2008 crowds continue to pour in to view the ELEMENTAL exhibit of paintings by Luther E. Vann at the Telfair Museum Jepson Center for the Arts in Savannah, Georgia, distribution of his new book, ELEMENTAL, The Power of Illuminated Love, has continued to increase.

           
Until recently, the book was available only through the Jepson Center Gift Shop (telephone 912-790-8831) and Soar Publishing (telephone 803-699-3634). However, outlets for the increasingly popular gift book title have expanded both online and off. These now include the following:

ELEMENTAL the show is currently scheduled to run at the Jepson Center until September 14 and Vann is currently considering options for an even larger exhibition of his work to go on tour. Critics have described the work in the show as everything from “the work of a master” to “an excellent example of real painting.”

In addition to Vann’s art, the book ELEMENTAL, The Power of Illuminated Love, features corresponding poetry by well-known author Aberjhani. It also includes critical assessments of the artist’s work by Telfair Museum director Steven High, writer Bill Dawers, collector Steve Bowman, and Vann himself.
