“As a former student of Frank Reilly, Don Martinetti said… I was delighted to see this book. I met Ralph Garafola in Reilly’s class at the Art Students League. I still have my notes in rough form, but Ralph has captured Reilly’s messages word-for-word. Reading this book is like listening to Reilly speak. Many of Reilly’s former students wanted him to write a book but he never did. I believe this is the book he would have written.”

Now, Garafola shares his knowledge of the Reilly Method with you.
