What if an ordinary little coloring book were to be upgraded with a set of 54 energetic line drawings by some of today's best-known contemporary artists instead of the usual dumbed-down pedagogical renderings? And what if the proceeds from the sale of this high-art coloring book were to go to a worthy charitable organization that seeks to install upbeat, original contemporary artworks in participating hospitals? Well, then you would have Between the Lines, this lively new collection of work by Vito Acconci, Rita Ackermann, John Baldessari, Jeremy Blake, Will Cotton, R. Crumb, Keith Haring, Sol LeWitt, Robert Longo, John Lurie, Robert Mapplethorpe, Jason Middlebrook, Julian Opie, Laura Owens, Alexis Rockman, Kenny Scharf, William Wegman and John Wesley, among others. And what if this same coloring book were to include four vibrant pages of original stickers by Assume Vivid Astro Focus and Ryan McGinness? Well, then you would have a collector's item. RxArt is a not-for-profit organization that curates contemporary art installations in hospitals and outpatient centers. The organization's goal is to create more energetic and therapeutic environments for patients, staff and visitors engaged in the act of healing. RxArt donates coloring books to children in participating healthcare facilities; like the installed artworks, the coloring books are meant to give children and their families something new and stimulating to think about under sometimes quite trying circumstances.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Fabulous artwork....needs better paper,
By ethereal girl (my own little world) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Between the Lines: A Coloring Book of Drawings by Contemporary Artists (Paperback)
This coloring book is most suited for teens or adults and has a variety of styles of contemporary art. I've had a lot of fun coloring the images, and I can choose a page that suits my mood. I would give the art to color 5 stars. However, it is printed on very poor quality paper. The printing itself bleeds through, let alone colored pencils are any other medium. Within a very short time, pages began falling out as I colored. I wish they had printed this on thicker paper with better binding....spiral bound would be even better.

This review is from: Between the Lines: A Coloring Book of Drawings by Contemporary Artists (Paperback)
This book is great for parties. Take it along with a box of 64 and watch everyone's inner artist come out.
