Artistic Genius,
By simmons3d (detroit) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Worlds of Amano (Hardcover)
His work is a combination of everything I like. Part American comics, part Japanese anime and manga, part Art Noveau, Klimt's work specifically comes to mind, part Art Deco and a healthy helping of Dulac and Neilsen's Golden Age illustrative style.

Truly Wonderful,
By R. Mcclain (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Worlds of Amano (Hardcover)
My son brought this book to me, sure that I would love it. Amano's work has been influenced by all the European artists I love and collect - Klimt, Rackham, Dulac, Nielsen - and he gives that inspiration his own incredible style. Really lovely book and a great introduction to the prolific artist's works.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This book is great. It has some exerts from different books by Amano, so if you do not want to all his books, buy this one. Plus the art work is very cool.
