Lost Constellations: The Art of Tara McPherson Volume 2
Loss, love, and loneliness. Altered forms and transfigured ideas. Power and vulnerability. Parallel universes of the heart and mind. Space and time. In a few brief years, the stunning visual oeuvre of Tara McPherson has grown and evolved at thrilling speed. Expanding beyond the limits of rock poster art into the worlds of commercial illustration and fine art, her paintings, drawings, toys, sculptures, and installations have pushed her influence and authority across the breadth of creative expression and helped redefine the boundaries of pop surrealism. Lost Constellations: The Art of Tara McPherson Volume 2 is the compelling road map to the artist's most recent and ambitious journeys in paint, pencil, and vinyl.

Dark, innocent beauty...like little children playing ; startling and moving.
Dark, innocent beauty, like little children playing,: "Let's pretend our parents are dead and we are orphans!" Startling, moving and real. If you're even looking at this book, debating, you're going to love it...the cover is just one small piece of her genius.

McPhearson’s art is interesting. I like her stylistic depiction of figures, and her sculptures are cute! It was cool that she got to make posters for bands like Kings of Leon and Mastodon! She is lucky!
