"Regine Gilbert is a prolific, primitive painter who celebrates her own inner world with exuberant renderings of flowers, landscapes, and designs never seen in this world. We suspect that deep within the Austrian ancestry of blood Regine is a gypsy. How else does one successfully blend a somber and gay mysticism and dare to paint poppies the way she does, or to give us a sunrise which, for sheer madness, equals a Van Gogh? Yet, she maintains a fine balance between fact and fiction, which Van Gogh relinquished." (from Galerie Bonheur). Very Good in Very Good- dust jacket .
