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.

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.

This book is illustrated by German Artist Michael Sowa, whose painting were featured in the movie "Amelie". they are beautiful, whimsical, fantastic creations! Truly a great book!

Gorgeous book! I love his work and enjoy having this book on my coffee table to look at from time to time.
