About the Author
Mark Ryden came to preeminence in the 1990s at a time when many artists, critics and collectors were quietly championing a return to the art of painting. With his masterful technique and disquieting content, Ryden quickly became one of the leaders of this movement on the West Coast. Over the past decade, this marriage of accessibility, craftsmanship and technique with social relevance, emotional resonance and cultural reference has catapulted Ryden beyond his roots and to the attention of museums, critics and serious collectors. Ryden s work has been exhibited in museums & galleries worldwide.

2.0 out of 5 stars
ignore the page count,
This review is from: Fushigi Circus (Japanese and English Edition) (Hardcover)
ignore the page count. about half the pages (those on the left) are blank. and maybe a quarter or a third of actual art in this already very small book takes up only a third or a half of the actual page. some are even only an inch in diameter. i am not joking. an inch. ryden is great. but there is no real way to appreciate the art at this ridiculous size...that is if you can even find his books in print...

A Small But Lovely Circus,
By Jeannie Blue (Long Guyland, New Yawk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fushigi Circus (Hardcover)
The art collected inside the pages of "Fushigi Circus" is some of my favorite Mark Ryden work to date. And while each piece is amazingly unique and surreal in the way that Ryden's work always is, several of the previous reviewers are entirely correct: this book is tiny! Tiny, tiny, tiny. It is hard to appreciate an intricate piece of artwork when it has been reduced down to such a miniscule size. I would not trade my copy for the world; it is, afterall, still Mark Ryden and I find his work genius and inspiring. However, I would have gladly paid the extra money to have the book in a sufficient size so that the detail of the work can truly shine through.

Nice book, but could be bigger,
This review is from: Fushigi Circus (Hardcover)
This book is a nice compilation of Ryden's works, however it could be bigger. Somehow seeing his art in such a small book is a little frustrating. His art deserves more visual emphasis.
