The Greatest Living Caricaturist,
By Marshall Vandruff "marshallart.com" (Laguna Niguel, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stars by Kruger (Hardcover)
I'm not a fan of mainstream caricature because it's too safe and tame. To me, the caricaturists who make the craft worthwhile are the ones, like Gerald Scarfe, who exaggerate to outrageous absurdity and keep it recognizable. Kruger may be a little less wild than Scarfe, and he's way too tame with the Rolling Stones (I suspect he wants to keep them as friends) but he's the current master talent. Astonishing drawing and painting skill. Incredible ability to push characters to extremes. Very entertaining, sometimes evoking winces, more often laughing out loud.

5.0 out of 5 stars
the best of his generation.,
By Jiaxing Rong (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stars by Kruger (Hardcover)
sebastian kruger is the best caricaturist of his generation. i would put him up there with levine and hirshfeld. but unlike those two kruger doesn't have a style. his consistency lies in his constant exploration of other styles. He approaches each celebrity with a fresh eye. No two pictures in this book look the same, but all are done with impeccable skill. This book is wonderful at showing some of his more popular subjects. The reproductions are great except for two blurry images. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in celebrities, caricatures, acrylics, airbrushes, and people with big noses.

The Greatest Portrait Artist of All Time!,
By
This review is from: Stars by Kruger (Hardcover)
This book is filled with some of the greatest portrait art I have ever seen! Kruger uses a wide variety of styles. Some images seem to be caricature in nature, while others are more realistic, and still others are totally unique in style and hard to catagorize. The common thread of all the images in this book is that they portray the character of the subject with unmatched accuracy and ability. The images in this book can best be described by one word, 'WOW'! The high quality of this book's printing also does great justice to these astounding images. All in all I give this book 'two thumbs up' 'way up'! Highly recommended for those interested in art that is innovative and masterful.
