A new edition of this wonderful book! 55 paintings by Michael Sowa from his famous Diving Pig to the puzzling Man Table Fish. Sowa's art evokes wonder and amazement; a mix of surrealism and comic illustration, of humor and seriousness. His art has been compared to Magritte and Vermeer. This book is a must have for art lovers and Sowa followers.

Comedy in Art,
By J K Nunley (Montrose, Ca) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sowa's Ark (Hardcover)
Sowa's Ark is about animals: domestic, wild, and literary animals in strange and unsual situations in the form of paintings. Some humans also appear like the woman in a boat pointing the way to go for a large ape to row on the large waves they're on. In another one an ark of animals is towing a smaller ark behind them and what is on that smaller, easy to lose, ark? Dinosaurs. This art book is clever, funny, pastoral, and introspective. In fact I should buy another copy before they are hard to find. Makes a great gift for educated, funny, art and animal loving people.

Sowa's Ark by Michael Sowa,
By Book Junkie "contessa d'libros" (Rockledge, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sowa's Ark (Hardcover)
A truly awesome artist, especially with his animal depictions. He mirrors life with odd people, and "normal" animals occupied in human activities. I especially love the rabbit pictures and the pig in the soup (I'd actually like to get a print of that and hang it in the dining room--like I said, "odd" humans.) The introductions are great, and give a lot of thought to the pictures contained in the book. Mr. Sowa is a wonderful artist, I'd love to see more of his work.
