The Real Snake is a fascinating record of many of the presentations that were made by academics and artists at The Representational Art Conference in the fall of 2012, a groundbreaking event founded by artists Michael Pearce and Michael Lynn Adams, who recognized that there had been a neglect of critical appreciation of representational art well out of proportion to its quality and significance. Filling a gap in the study of contemporary art, the conference was planned as a focused but non-doctrinaire event, of serious academic standards.

Essential reading for people who love traditional studio art and want to know more about what's happening in the representational art world, The Real Snake is packed with fascinating contributions, including critical insight from Jed Perl and the entertaining commentary of popular Californian artist John Nava, who gives the title to the volume with his reference to a scene in the movie Bladerunner. Other engaging chapters include eloquent compositions by the popular blogger John Seed, the legendary Los Angeles artist Ruth Weisberg and technical wizard Virgil Elliott.
