Amazing, April 22, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Shadows of a Hand: The Drawings of Victor Hugo (Hardcover)
This is an incredible book. I first ran into it when my college art instructor brought it for me to look at. He obtained a copy while on vacation, visiting Hugo home. I was awestruk then and now. Now a few years later, I was visiting the Art Institute of Chicago and saw a Hugo, one that is actually in the book.
It jogged my memory of this incredible book. I jumped online, and amazingly found a copy here on Amazon. I can't wait to get it. And for an amazing price.
This book is fonaminale in its explaination of Hugo, his art, and his techneques. A ture treasure for anyone interested. Exceptional work from someone who is known for is writing, not drawings.

Wonderful book on a neglected aspect of Hugo., November 11, 1998

This review is from: Shadows of a Hand: The Drawings of Victor Hugo (Hardcover)
After viewing Hugo's art displayed at his home, I was surprised at the lack of material I could find to read about it. This book has been a great find for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Hugo or the history of modern Western art.
