Book Description

October 2, 1998

“An exciting, monumental, first-rate book devoted to a universal phenomenon whose time has come at last. Perhaps this is the art of the twenty-first century.”—Michael Bonesteel, The Outsider

“A wonderful book…”—David Bowie

“(A) fascinating, timely book.”—Publishers Weekly

“Recommended for all art collections.”—Library Journal

Originally a landmark exhibition at the American Visionary Art Museum, The End is Near! presents the largest collection of visionary art ever assembled on the subjects of Apocalypse, Millennium, and Utopia. With essays by Stephen Jay Gould, Reverend Howard Finster, Adam Parfrey, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Winner of the Benjamin Franklin Book Award.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Book for ANY Library, May 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The End is Near!: Visions of Apocalpse, Millennium and Utopia (Paperback)
My wife and I just bought the hardcover and recommend it highly. We loved the reading the background of the authors. It proves that you do not have to be a celebrity or athlete or CEO to be "considered successful". Some of the world's greatest talent are never heard from. We have Dilettante Press to thank for bringing us this fine collection of artists. I work with libraries and recommend this book to all of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visionary - Von Stropp, November 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The End is Near!: Visions of Apocalpse, Millennium and Utopia (Paperback)
This is a great book which as mentioned by another reviewer, really brings the genre together and lets us appreciate it. I find the art of Von Stropp to be astoundly brilliant for a visionary or any other artist for that matter, just to name one. Great color pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source for outsider art with a specific theme!, February 24, 1999
By 
Tiff Waters (In an Airstream, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The End is Near!: Visions of Apocalpse, Millennium and Utopia (Paperback)
There are lots of books out there on outsider art-but this is great because it's a guide to art from all over the world with one theme in mind. It helps put the whole genre into a form that is more easily understandable and, best of all, fun. I really love this book!
