This remarkable first monograph of acclaimed Pop Surrealist artist Alex Gross features striking, dreamlike imagery that transcends category. Gross paints a haunting mlange of fairytale, allegory, history, and pop culture, fusing eastern and western aesthetics in an ethereal world populated by kimono-clad Japanese women and lost Victorian dandies. In more than eighty exquisite color images, comprising all of Gross's gallery work, silk screens, etchings, and sketches, this volume illuminates his singular blend of realism and whimsy. Embraced and collected by art connoisseurs and lowbrow fans alike, Gross's work is both enigmatic and irresistible.

Before running across this book in a Border's store, I wasn't very familiar with the artist. This book totally changed that! The artwork is magnificent! I love every page and the mind behind the work speaks volumes and only adds to the beauty of the artwork. This is a fabulous book! I lay it out on display and it inspires me while I'm painting!
