Book Description

October 23, 2000
Famous faces seen as never before, from the creator and sole practitioner of the hottest new digital age art form

Robert Silvers's photomosaics have awed and enthralled hundreds of thousands, not only in his books but also on magazine covers, movie posters, games, and puzzles. His specially commissioned photomosaic portraits appear everywhere from the collections of Al Gore, Bill Gates, and the Library of Congress to MasterCard's award-winning print and TV advertising. Photomosaic Portraits includes Michael Jordan assembled from miniatures of the twentieth century's top athletes and Richard Nixon composed from photos of his enemies (including himself). Rich with humor and meaning, every one will spark party conversation or rapt hours of solitary contemplation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Astonishing.., December 6, 2000
This review is from: Photomosaic Portraits (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book for anyone's coffee table. It gives us the history behind the now famous computerized photomosaic, and shows us dozens of examples of some of the more well down ones today. Information is provided for each photomosaic, including why the images used to make it up were chosen, as well as who comissioned the photosmosaic for what reason. A beautiful coffee book to look through.
