5.0 out of 5 stars My Introduction to Naza, February 9, 2000

This review is from: Abstracted Realism by Naza (Paperback)

I am a person who enjoys Naza's art work, so this book immediately captured my attention. I found it overall to be a high quality book.

This book is broken into two sections. The first section is a concise yet well written autobiography of the artist, Naza. Not only does the autobiography give us insight into the artist's life, but on the influences on the artist's art. It also allows us to see some of the obstacles the artist faced to develop her art skills and develop her career. This section then transcends into a review of the artist's accomplishments and her thoughts on art and her creations.

The second section is 70 high quality prints of her art work. The section is organized into the five phases of her art work. The organization correlates with her life story, and allows us to visually see how her life experiences influenced her art work.

Because of Suzane Jales, we now have a look into the life of one of the finest artist in all the world. Suzane starts with allowing us to see the town of Naza.s birth and introduces us to her parents. (she was born when mothers still ironed clothes and a picture of naza in a pair of shorts with a crease in them made me be thankful of "wash and wear" of today!) Thank you Suzane for your expressive and yes, impressive biography of Naza. The paintings were chosen and placed on a type of paper you will be tempted to put in frames. They are on separate pages--not back-to-back..so if you do want to frame them; you wont distroy another painting. When i first opened the book, i tried to see if i didn't have 2 pages together, until i realized it was the quality of paper. Because of the way the book is put together--one might expect to pay much more. If you like abstract painting, you'll love Abstracted Realism by NAZA and if you love Naza's work; you'll really love Suzane Jales for writing the book. it is excellent! Suzane also put in the bookother places Naza's work may be viewed. Thank you again Suzane--what other things have you published? P.S. no i won't cut up the book to frame the pictures--you can get those at naza.com.
