5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the unknown great Painting instruction books,
By Don Coyer (Savannah, Ga, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Charles Pfahl, Artist at Work (Hardcover)
I got this book when it was still in print, and if you are a painter, I urge you to get it, as it's been impossible to find. Pfahl is a great painter, and this book, unlike many others, shows many step by step paintings. The paintings are large and the color is real good, in fact, just the slip cover alone is worth the price of the book, in my opinion, and this reproduction of it doesn't do it justice. I believe it will become one of your favorite books in your art collection.

Aesthetically Rich AND a "How-To" Book,
By Theseus "theseus" (US of A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Charles Pfahl, Artist at Work (Hardcover)
One of the finer pieces of work in the Watson-Guptill catalog. Black cloth with silver details over boards; 143 pp; designed by the great Bob Fille.Pfhal is a real painter's painter. His work is Romantic and a little dreamy, possessing a current sensibility that is fully grounded in the realist tradition. He depicts figures and interiors with the splashy specificity reminiscent of Titian, Degas, and Vermeer. Not to say that he's derivative. This painter has his own eye; I find his compositional choices and his palette highly individualized. However, Pfahl is a descendant of some of the greatest painting traditions in Western culture. Illustrations throughout, about 75% color and 25% b&w. Many full-page illustrations.
