Inside Manhattan,
By "isabel3" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Manhattan Within (Hardcover)
The skyline depicted in Manhattan Within is truly amazing. I live in New York City and yet the only skyline I had ever considered was the "outer" one. Pericoli's book takes you on a 360 degree journey inside (or rather "outside" as he explains in his text) the the heart of Manhattan from the perspective of Central Park. All of the buildings -drawn freehand- dance and float upon a cloud of green trees. The colors and techniques used to convey this intimate perspective of the city are incredible.As Pericoli explains in his text, the park by itself is beautiful, however it is the juxtaposition of the city with the park that makes it magical. His description of a sunset, reflecting on the windows as seen from inside Central Park, is poetic. In Manhattan Within, every building has a distinct personality and seems alive. The artist's text -in a journal format- complements beautifully this truly unique illustration book. |
