Dangerous Curves: The Art of the Guitar,
By Vincent (Brooklyn, N.Y. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dangerous Curves: The Art of the Guitar (Hardcover)
As a professional builder, collector, and lover of guitars, I have spent all of my adult life collecting virtually every book on the subject of guitars that has ever been published. I must say that at this point in my life I never expected to find another book on this subject that would excite me, but I was wrong. "Dangerous Curves, The Art of Guitar", by Darcy Kuronen, and Lenny Kaye is a sumptuous volume that is thoughtfully designed not only to educate, but to delight the eye. Richly illustrated with crisp, vivid photographs by Carl Tremblay, this book documents a very significant selection of many of the worlds historically important, rarest, finest, and unusual guitars ever made. The guitars' role as art object is usually ignored, but the point is beautifully illustrated here via the authors' insightful selection of such innovative, trendsetting instruments such as the Steinberger, Millenium guitar, and the Fly! I applaud the authors' for including many instruments by living makers, whose incredible works are often overlooked. The best part of this tome, may be the fact that it is a catalog for an incredible, and long overdue exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts, in Boston. Even if you've seen them all, this book is a "must have" for your collection.Highly recommended.
