Reviews

[Sean · Rating 4 out of 5]

Highly recommended. The artist is renowned for paintings that meld foods like fruits and vegetables into human portraits. He seems to be very obscure and hasn't got nearly the recognition I think he deserves. The book offers large format repos of his paintings, often breaking them down into close ups that are discussed in detail. The format makes the whole thing very easy to read and provides a wealth of information.

Flowery prose. Ridiculous layout.
