(Part 2) Best individual artist monographs according to redditors

Apple is offering this book in 13" x 16.25" for $299 for 450 pages, a plain white embossed cover, and maybe a dust jacket, but none shown in the photos. Sample photos appear to have ample white space, which is a great way to compose these photos, but it also cuts down on printing costs. It's worth noting that the pages and the cover are cut flush, which is a nice detail, but it's not a $100 detail.

Gustav Klimt: Complete Paintings in 12.5" x 18" is list price $200 for 676 pages, which includes several foiled pages. This book cost more to print than the Apple book, period.

The complete Da Vinci in 10" x 15" is list price $70 for 700 pages. This is probably closer to the quality of the Apple book.

Frank Lloyd Wright is 13" x 10" is list price $70 for 500 pages. This is pretty comparable in size to the smaller, $200 apple book (10.2" x 12.75").

Fascinating stuff.

The book is available on Amazon (US) or Amazon (DE).

> Although I can find many books and essays about Darger available online, I can’t find his own books anywhere, not even Amazon.

I don't think he formally published many of his own works. For what it's worth though, this collection claims to include "Darger's autobiography, A History of My Life".

The 5000 page count might be a little misleading too, since most of the pages looked like this.

Thank you! Since it's Italian culture, I'd like anything about Da Vinici.

Something like this:
https://www.amazon.ca/Leonardo-da-Vinci-Graphic-Work/dp/3836554410/
or this

But from Italy. It's to Canada. Let me know the postage and I'll send you the cost to ship it.

For $2.50 you can own a digital copy of all his artwork and over 700 letters he wrote to his brother

Delphi Complete Works of Vincent van Gogh (Illustrated) (Masters of Art Book 3) by Vincent van Gogh

Sembrerà banale ma come prima lettura ti consiglio il manuale della tua macchina. Davvero, quando l'hai letto e compreso a pieno ne saprai già un bel po'.

Per cominciare con la tecnica ti consiglio L'occhio del fotografo e poi gli altri dello stesso autore(li trovi su amazon).

Per quanto riguarda i libri fotografici dei grandi fotografi beh.. se potessi permetterlo io prenderei tutto. Quelli di Salgado sono i più curati ma costano parecchio. Il mio preferito è Erwitt e ho il suo più completo che è questo. Poi visto che su hai scritto che vuoi fare paesaggi ti consiglio di guardarti qualcosa di Ghirri, italiano e molto particolare, lontano dalla paesaggistica che si vede ora sui social.

First things first; don't host an album on your google account. I suggest you use imgur.com for a little bit of anonymity, but judging by your Username I'm not sure that you care.
now that I've gotten that out my critiques for you are as following:

• the E P connection looks really weak and I would suggest against it
  
• drop the wings for now you have no need for distracting add-ons yet
  
• the E underlining the word is not helping you out right now
  
  what I feel like a lot of people who visit this site don't realize is that super over the top stylized handstyle are all planned out and came to fruition after 100's of hours of trial and error and 100's upon 100's of notebooks that are all burned with just the nastiest handstlyes. Also I read in this book about Chaz Bojorquez that you should approach handstyles as you would approach calligraphy: you should spend most of your time visualizing the strokes you make in your head and doing practice strokes all before your pen touches the paper. This is why we chant the sub mantra so much " practice straight letters before you go on to something wild." They will help you visualize that when you stretch that bottom loop of a R all the way back to your vertical post you just made a B.
  
  Let me give you a little overveiw of my process when I'm developing a handstyle.
  what I like to do is that I burn thru notebooks practicing different variations of the word; and sometimes it changes to a completely new word. What im looking for is how the word looks as a whole. Is it leaning too much to one side, are the letter the same size, do they have the same kerning as the others, does it have the same font, and more. Once I've "burned" through my first "burner books" I pick up another "burner book" and just burn it with the one style I've decided was the coolest.
  
  This is going to be a long process and you wont ever be as good as you want to be, just don't give up when you aren't producing stuff you think you could do better

Can't quite recall if the linked pics are in this book but there's plenty similar in there.

No matter what has happened or will happen with Jackson court cases, the fact remains that he's dead, and we will never understand his psyche.

This document disturbs me and makes me sad. That said, I can't imagine that I'd look like a great person if my entire porn history was presented in a courtroom.

For what it's worth, the first three books about boys are all being sold by third party sellers on Amazon. Judge for yourself the content:

The boy

In search of young beauty

Boys will be boys

Chop suey club

Before the hand of man

Robert Maxwell photographs

Taormina

Golden age of neglect

Room to play

Whatever you think of him, good or bad, the fact remains that he's dead dead dead, as dead as anything that has ever been dead. We will never understand.

here are some of my favorite art books,
Malvina Hofman races of man kind she is an amazing sculptress and this book highlights her creation of 91 sculptures for the Chicago field museum exhibit in 1930.
The Complete Letters of Vincent Van Gogh the way he speaks about painting and color is amazing
any book with the drawings of the old masters, Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael, Leonardo, growing up with them as abase for drawing will only make her a better artist.
Jean-Antoine Houdon an aming sculptor, his busts are outstanding!
Félix González-Torres 2nd Edition one of my favoriate artist but it might be over her head as his work deals alot with the 90's, AIDs, and homosexuality during that time in america and many other issues, but he is an incredible example of modern art that is layered and deeply moving.
Caravaggio: A Life i think this is the bib on Caravaggio i read almost 10 years ago it was good,
Stealing the Mystic Lamb: The True Story of the World's Most Coveted Masterpiece great read about art theft.
hope this helps,

That is exactly him, thank you so much! It does seem like his artwork is only available as posters in a very limited selection from his website. There is a book however.

How about a nice book?

Nope, this.

Not sure but the book in question is available on Google docs and in the acknowledgements they mention that the exhibition tickets were designed by Peter Kogler. Maybe the tickets had the same design as the catalogue. Kogler has done other catalogue covers. Here is one for his exhibition at MOMA and here one for the Mumok. There is some similarity in style but I couldnt say for certian that it is him.

>... mc eschar.

That's gonna blow over top of so many heads.

Late Edit: Thanks. You pointed me towards a x-mas gift. I already found Monet By Himself for a Niece and I think M.C. Escher: The Graphic Work will be another.

Bookmark Calendars are a handy way of getting a dozen thin glossy cardboard bookmarks in whatever theme you prefer. I slip one inside the front cover when I start a book so I don't have to hunt around when I stop reading for the first time.

Thanks.

looks like it is available in English: http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Mirror-M-C-Escher-Anniversary/dp/3822837032

I can now see that you are rather dense.

Here is piece by Mucha.

While finding images I can link on mobile is not easy, surely this must fulfill your narrow requirements of having “harsh” lines in the foreground and no lines in the background. I chose the Kaare Andrews piece first because the distance between foreground and background is of similar scale as OP’s piece.

I would suggest taking sometime to study Alphonse Mucha’s work. It is obvious that you’ve never heard of him. Here’s one of his books. I believe that cover also fulfills the semantics of your requirements. He is fucking famous because he would mix absurdly thick lines with soft shading and the absence of line work. And you should spend less time talking out of your ass and giving other artists bad advice.

Do you really believe in the history of art, no artist has successfully mixed the use of lines with absence of lines? How arrogant and ignorant can you be?
