Reviews

[Bob Fingerman · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a beautiful object this book is. Lively, lovely drawings. Really just an elegant volume from cover to cover. Superb.

Mattotti is best-known for his color work (e.g., the NEW YORKER covers and the magnificent FIRES), but this is a beautiful and under-appreciated collection of his magical black-and-white linework.
