gggomezmayorga, a beautiful art book,
By ilse kuhne schmitz-paul (Mexico City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guillermo Gómez Mayorga (Hardcover)
I really, really liked this book. It's a wonderfull piece of art. The artist is really good at painting all kind of Mexico's landscapes and flowers. I liked the color of his paintings, the themes, like the ocean. I loved this book, because someone very close to me made the internet page, and he spend a lot of time doing it and asking me if I liked it. We reviewed it a lot of times and picked out the paintings we liked most. And he would have done a lot more, but he had a brain aneurism in september 1999, and is actually still recovering, but, as we have the book, we still look at it sometimes and have a wonderful time. I'm not writing this without any knowledge. This artist, Mayorga, is not very known, but there are plenty of works of him, and the author is trying to make him to be known because of his talent.
