At once both controversial and classical, Rafal Olbinski has built a career around examining the mystery of women. His paintings depict a woman who is both distant and effortlessly available. In this first publication of his paintings, Olbinski creates a world that seeks to celebrate the secrets of women without destroying their mystery. Born in post-war Poland, Olbinski built a successful career as a poster artist and graphic designer in Europe before immigrating to the United States in the early 1980's. Best known for his depictions of women, this book explores Olbinski's unique perspective on such classical figures as Salome and Da Vinci's Mona Lisa , to contemporary women and their place in today's world.

This review is from: Rafal Olbinski Women: Motifs and Variations (Hardcover)
Rafal Olbinski was born in post-war Poland and is best-known for his depictions of women - all of which are gathered under one cover for WOMEN: MOTIFS AND VARIATIONS. These are gorgeous full-page color paintings which blend elements of surrealism, landscape and figure art and which explores both classic and contemporary images alike, offering an often-whimsical play on themes. The result is an inviting, vivid collection essential for any college-level art library and many a college-level holding on women's portraits and issues.
