4.0 out of 5 stars Chronicle of Royo's Erotic Russian Private Residence Commission, September 1, 2007

First, I hate when I watch a book here at full price & finally decide to go ahead and buy it,then it drops to 32% off as this one has when I recieve it, read it, & it's time to rate or review it. *sighs* On with my review . . . This thin book briefly chronicles Royo's commission to paint a gentleman's modern Russian castle's dome with 45 life-size nude women. (Think Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel on a much smaller---though still large--scale with Royo's sapphoric/lesbian sex-themed erotic Prohibited series' content.) The only males are three cloaked & hooded voyeurs in one panel, one of whom is definately Royo and the others may be his son, who helped his father all those months to execute this arduous project, and the owner of the dome. The text is brief but sufficient to basically explain major stages of the project. The photographs consist of his studio pre-work; his dome transfers; his dome paintings-in-progress; pieces of his final works; then the dome itself. I would have liked to have seen each panel have its own picture in the end and read more details about the execution of such a long & complicated project. This book is obviously not like his others due to the content, but it is a nice book about a wonderful project for a great artist of our time.

If you are already a fan of this man's art, you'll have a lot to appreciate with this collection. It is a book of images that someone commissioned the artist to paint on the ceiling of a closed space. Each panel has something interesting, unique and amazing for the viewer to behold.

Keeping this short, it is a must-have for someone who wishes to collect his work. It is also a must-have for those who appreciate or have a natural curiosity to his work.

Great art book, not for display around children as it contains nudes. This book shows the art work of erotic artist Luis Royo. A fantastic celing design done for a rich patron that we get to see through this book. If you like Royo's work this is a must see.
