Excellent peek into the world of Durer
After collecting my 15th Durer book I found a friend who was travelling to Germany and asked for a book IN GERMAN about Durer. The book she brought was actually the book written in english and translated to German. I was delighted! This caused me to reread the english and follow along, as best I could, with the german text.

A research guide
This book is a research guide, not a biography, which is only valuable to a subset of scholars. There are no illustrations. Do not buy this book.

Excellent peek into the world of Durer,
By Karl Haight-Boyd (KHaightB@ix.netcom.com) (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Albrecht Durer (Paperback)
After collecting my 15th Durer book I found a friend who was travelling to Germany and asked for a book IN GERMAN about Durer. The book she brought was actually the book written in english and translated to German. I was delighted! This caused me to reread the english and follow along, as best I could, with the german text. What a pleasure and an underscore to how multitalented and unenjoyed Durer is. From a precocious 12 year old {doing one of the first recognized self portaits} to a traveller of the world, seeker of perspective truth and with humor at his side {read his letters to his friend Pirckhiemer}. Jane C.Hutchinson tells a story worth reading whether you are an artist or just someone who recognizes beauty.

An error by Amazon,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Albrecht Durer: A Guide to Research (Artist Resource Manuals) (Hardcover)
While Hutchison's "Guide to Research" is outstanding -- I turn to it ofen -- all of the material in Amazon's entry is about her biography of Durer, another excellent and very separate volume. Amazon has conflated the two, harming both books.
