The triumph of painting... what can I say...

I got these Saatchi Gallery books for myself. I was totally psyched. But when they came, I flipped through them and was left less than inspired.

I love Schutz, and have a fondness for a few other artists here. I have books on Shutz, Raedecker and Essenhigh. Those books are much more engaging than this Saatchi pap. I was expecting more.

The reproductions here are of a superior quality.
