A fascinating subject presented in art-expert doubletalk,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kewpies and Beyond: The World of Rose O'Neill (Studies in Popular Culture) (Hardcover)
That Rose O'Neill is a sadly neglected star of illustration,character design and paradoxical living, no one could ever deny-- especially if knowledge of her works and life is based on her actual writings and memoirs of members of the O'Neill "court". This re-telling of O'Neill's story is written in the most convoluted language, using terms and allusions that confound and cloud the"who" that was Rose O'Neill. A lack of illustrations further frustrate the reader interested in O'Neill's artwork, and several of the few illustrations that are in the book are either mis-captioned or fuzzily reproduced. This book smacks of a dissertation written without real interest in the subject. Quotes from other dis-engaged sources abound, denying the reader to ever analyse O'Neill for himself. I really hated this book.
