A sumptuous and colorful anthology of artist and accomplished designer Lulu de Kwiatkowskis strikingly original handmade collages. Vivid and dreamlike, and sometimes autobiographical, her artwork draws heavily from her own 1970s childhood experiences and her travels to exotic locales.

Review
It is so enormously colorful and energetic, so totally larger than life, that we give it the joie de vivre award for sheer affirmative exuberance. Published by AMMO, a young boutique house in L.A., Lulu is a triumph for both the artist and the press. --Met Home (June 2008)
There is a question all New York girls must face: When to rearrange or renew the supply of lush coffee table books that are stacked just so, admittedly half-chosen for their aesthetic as for their insides. Fear no more, you need just one new addition to the stack: Lulu (Ammo), Lulu de Kwiatkoswki's monograph of the most divine collages....at long last it's here; some things are worth waiting for. --Vogue (May 2008)

This book is truly breathtaking. It is not only inspirational, but a curious and honest - if not mildly voyeristic journey into the mind of an artist. The collages are like scuba diving and getting that glimps into someone elses world. Some of the collages are reminicent of St. Peppers - but much much more beautiful and feminine. I'm very tempted to buy another one to cut up and frame a bunch of the of the images for my walls!

if frida kahlo and peter beard had a love child it would be lulu dk!
bold, colorful, romantic...her book is such an inspiration. it made me want to get lost in some beautiful far flung place...india, morocco, tanzania... the collages combine her art, journals, family photographs, etc...they are incredibly unique, vivid and personal. i love her images because they aren't about a finished thought...they are free and open to intrepretation and lay the groundwork for your own personal inspiration. and on a superficial note...it has one of the best darn covers i've seen in a long time...it's going to look so smart on countless cocktail tables!

As an art lover, I am always looking for books that pique my imagination and look good at the same time. This book certainly fits the bill! Every page is filled with wonderful pictures that tell a story of the artist's life, while showing her talent at the same time. Best of all, when not enjoying the great pictures inside, it looks amazing sitting on the coffee table with it's colorful jacket. I highly recommend this book, especially at the reduced price you get when buying it from Amazon!

Lulu is Fantastic
This is a very special book. It is fantastic. A new expression of art combined with personal notes. It is a great example of good heirloom publication.
