All Things Move

Reviews

“A testament to quiet patience, and what we gain when we let go of preconceptions of how we are supposed to interact with an artwork of any medium or discipline.” — Quill & Quire

“Jeannie Marshall's book All Things Move addresses the splendor of the iconic Sistine Chapel from personal and universal perspectives [...] an all-encompassing intimate tour of the Sistine Chapel's extraordinary wonders.” — Foreword Reviews

“Jeannie Marshall offers a meditation on the timeless values and personal meanings in both art and religion. Full of insights into everyone from Michelangelo and Martin Luther to Barnett Newman, All Things Move is a celebration of the power of art to make us see, feel and think.” — Ross King, author of Michelangelo and the Pope’s Ceiling

“All Things Move is not just another book, written in clear and lively sentences that anyone will want to read, detailing the history and creation of one of the greatest works of art known to mankind. It's a book that actually operates in the opposite direction—a book about how we experience that work of art, and why the experience is so unforgettable. Michelangelo made a great and lasting work of art that changed history. But in Marshall's gifted hands, our experience of it becomes an adventure and a work of art in its own right. This is a book about discovery, unlike anything you have read before.” — Ian Brown, author of Sixty

“In the manner of the late W. G. Sebald, who shattered sundry barriers in his writing, Jeannie Marshall has produced a prose poem, a deeply personal, multi-layered, and thoroughly captivating meditation on art, spirituality, and life. I was both moved and enchanted.” — Modris Eksteins, author of Solar Dance
