To us here at Third Person Books a book isn't a commodity, it's an idea. Even more it's an embodiment of an idea in physical form with everything that goes along with that. There's a whole philosophical spiel we could get into, but let's shelve that for now!

About the author

Elizabeth Rynecki is the great-granddaughter of the Polish-Jewish artist, Moshe Rynecki (1881-1943). She grew up with his paintings prominently displayed on the walls of her family home and understood from an early age that the art connected her to a legacy from "the old country" Poland. In 1999, Elizabeth designed the original Moshe Rynecki: Portrait of a Life in Art website. Today, she continually updates it to keep it current regarding academic research, educational resources, and tracking lost Rynecki paintings. Elizabeth has a BA in Rhetoric from Bates College and a master's degree in Rhetoric and Speech Communications from UC Davis.
