5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely gifted Russian painter of figures and still life, July 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Nicolai Fechin (Hardcover)

I often checked this book out when I was attending Ringling School of Art in the early 80's. Fechin had a wonderful ability of painting realisticly in an impressionistic manner. He was very much an influence on Illustrator Bob Peak and many others, including myself. I have looked for this book since my graduation in 1981 and have been unable to find it. Fechin, in addition to being a talented painter ans colorist was also a master drawer. This book shows his versatility and enormous talent. Someone needs to reprint this book or publish a new one on this artist!

5.0 out of 5 stars BEAUTIFUL!, April 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Nicolai Fechin (Hardcover)

I was left breathless looking at Fechin's charcoal drawings! They are arguably the best ever drawn next to Michaelangelo! This book contains the largest collection of Fechin drawings and paintings out there. Profusely illustrated. I was lucky to find this book at a used bookstore-buy at any price if found. You won't be disappointed!
