Product Description

Haunting landscapes, mythical creatures, and a style that stirred the “new gothic” revival: that is the enchanted world of Anne Sudworth. Finally, here is a comprehensive collection of her marvelous works, along with a selection of studies and roughs, an appendix featuring an illustrated treatment of her techniques, and incisive commentary by both award-winning writer John Grant and the artist herself.

About the Author

Anne Sudworth presented her landmark exhibition 'Visions and Views' in 1993, devoted to her more imaginative and fantastical works. The triumph of this exhibition led her to devote her energies almost exclusively to fantasy and now, while continuing to display her work to great acclaim in orthodox galleries, she shows also with equal success at fantasy and science-fiction conventions. John Grant is the author of Encyclopaedia of Walt Disney's Animated Characters. Technical Editor of the Clute/Nicholls' Encyclopaedia of Science Fiction (for which he shared a rare BSFA Special Award), co-editor with John Clute of The Encyclopaedia of Fantasy and co-author with Ron Tiner of The Encyclopaedia of Fantasy and Science Fiction Art Techniques. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

The paintings in this book make fantasy look like reality, they look like photographs and the images seem so real. The earth and the trees generate energy and light. The atmospheric, surreal night-time landscapes and mythical creatures in this book will lead you to believe that they truly exist. I also loved that there were detailed explanations from the artist of what she was trying to achieve, as well as pictures of the works-in-progress! I highly recommend it.
