Looking to get serious on your summer reading? I started my week with this new treasure, "The Prophetic Imagery of Anthony Quinn" by Glenn Harte. I have an advance copy for review but the book will be released in August 2017.
Many of us are familiar with Anthony Quinn, the legendary actor. I photographed Quinn and his then wife Yolanda years ago at the 'Home Alone' movie premiere. I never knew about his passion for painting and art or that his paintings were prophetic. I wish I would have known as that would have been a fascinating interview. He had the intuitive ability to paint world events such as the attack of 9/11 decades before they occurred.
The genius of his work goes deeper than that as described in this fascinating well researched recollection from author Glenn Harte. He has been an art collector, art historian and art dealer for more
than 40 years, working with galleries around the world. He has been an
agent for high profile Artist like award-winning actor Anthony Hopkins.
After an artist Burt Young of Rocky fame, Tony Curtis and the estate of Red Skelton, and hundreds of other artists, establishing gallery
relationships around the world including London, Israel, Walt Disney
World, Las Vegas and more.
Harte has been instrumental in curating over 20 million worth of masterworks from around the world, and establishing documentation processes for the authentication and verification of a stroke or works by the masters including Rembrandt, Albrecht Dürer, Miro, Chagall, Picasso, Salvador Dali and more.

He brings insider knowledge about the artist and his craft to an interesting tribute that is well written and doesn't feel like anything is missing.
This is the perfect book for people like me and those that love knowing true stories about celebrities,fine art and intuition.
I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to future books from the author.
Info from the publisher:
Anthony Quinn was known for many things in the public
eye: A two time Academy award winning actor, a writer, and a painter
with immense talent. But there was another side to him that was less
noun: being followed by visions and precognitive dreams, and a
phenomenal ability to paint future events decades before they happened.
The fascinating side to Quinn is being unpacked for the very first time
in the new book, the prophetic imagery of Anthony Quinn: a study of
surrealism and precognitive art, written by Glenn Harte, A renowned
celebrity art expert an agent to the Anthony Quinn state. In the
prophetic imagery of Anthony Quinn, Harte shares that, all throughout
Quinn's adult life, he spoke about dreams and apparitions that followed
him. Documented in depth and his personal writings, he would often paint
those visions. Today, decades later there is strong evidence that they
may have been precognitive visions that have since come true.
Among
these works is a painting that depicts the events of September 11. It's
as if Quinn took the headlines and images of the day and put them on
canvas.
But how could
this be? He died three months before the attack even occurred. Another
is a portrait of a "ghost boy" he often said followed him around. Use
later he had a son who grew up to have an almost identical resemblance
to the painting.
The
prophetic imagery of Anthony Quinn shows the genius of the artist as
never before. Through Quincy own writings, readers will see him describe
events that remained far in his future, and the paintings that he
created which is very own hands.
"Quinn's work
demonstrates, as no other artist in history, that pre-cognitive
abilities are real, "says Harte. " You May come to believe, as I have,
the Anthony Quinn created some of the most remarkable paintings of all
time."
