VESAGE is a collection of art from the members of the Visual Effects Society (VES). Most of the art are in traditional medium, with a few photos and even fewer digital art pieces.
To qualify to be a member of the VES, an individual must have a minimum of five years' experience in the visual effects industry and be recommended by two members of the society.
There are two prominently featured artists in the book, Albert Whitlock and Dan Curry. The text talks about their career and life with a gallery of their work.
The rest of the book is filled with a variety of prints from the different artists. The captions are short and only describe what's in the scene, with no added context for the creation. In that respect, the book feels a bit light in content in the latter half of the book. The images are quite random, at times this feels like a catalog book.
Personally, I won't recommend this book because I like my books to focus on a specific medium or theme. And no, this book is not about visual effects but on the personal art from the members of VEX.
