The Cigar in Art [Hardcover]

Terence Conran (Introduction)

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Edward Hopper, Frida Kahlo, Larry Rivers, and Pablo Picasso are just a few of the diverse artists represented in this elegant little volume who have portrayed the cigar in their paintings and drawings. Each artwork is paired with a clever, relevant quote from the likes of such luminaries as Oscar Wilde, Bertolt Brecht, and Mark Twain. The quintessential art book for the cigar lover, this memorable book should be relished in the same spirit as the artwork--and the subject matter--that it celebrates.

Review

This is the first book to celebrate the cigar in art, providing a gallery of cigar art works accompanied by quotes and poems reflecting on the cigar and the life it represents. Its use as a gift book will be ongoing and specific to cigar affectionados. -- Midwest Book Review
