Beautiful book, buy it NOW!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The World of Michael Parkes (Hardcover)
This book is an absolute bargain. The art is gorgeous, and very well reproduced. Thankfully, NONE of the artwork spans more than one page, and cuts the piece in half. All of the prints are on the right page, and a commentary (including date, title, and size) is on the left page. My only complaint is the text. Parkes actually comments on approximately 1 in 4 of the prints. The rest of the comments are not words of the artist, but "meaningful interpretations" from misc. sources. The commentary from these sources varies from interesting to pathetic. IMHO, the only comments worth reading are the ones from the Parkes, which are in quotations. All in all though, this is a MUST BUY if you like the work of Parkes. You will be delighted, I guarantee it.

A Fabulous Collection of Michael Parkes' Paintings,
This review is from: The World of Michael Parkes (Hardcover)
I am a big fan of Michael Parkes' paintings. They are captivating because of the way the surreal imagery is blended with a realistic landscape. The earth tones mixed with the fantastic are breathtaking. His color usage is what makes me love his paintings. This book is a great collection of some of his best works. (There were, however, only a few of my favorite paintings missing, like Unwinding, Moonstone and The Old Ways) The best thing about this book is that it is up-to-date with the latest paintings as of 1998! Each painting comes with some words to help get a better understanding of it. It's not a wordy book, which puts the focus on the paintings where it belongs. Parkes' paintings have struck me deeply ever since I discovered this brilliant artist. If you have liked Parkes' artwork and you are trying to find an up-to-date collection of his paintings, then this is the right book for you and it is well preserved in hard cover!

A Must Have for Michael Parkes fans,
By "rzookeeper" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The World of Michael Parkes (Hardcover)
This is a magnificent book. The large illustrations and text that accompany them are beautiful to look at and insightful. We all interpret his work in our own way, it's nice to see how the artist himself interprets his work. I have several of his books and like them all, but this is my favorite.
