The Newest and Bestest Picture Book of Dinosaurs and Other Extinct Animals

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

Charles Knight died while I was still a young boy, leaving behind a series of paintings of dinosaurs and other extinct creatures which sustained me through my childhood (even my "dino-toys" aped Knight's reconstructions), but then something terrible happened. For almost 30 years, dinosaur art stagnated, with endless recyclings and reworkings of Knight's depictions, getting ever cruder and falling ever further behind the evolving dinosaur science. Then, in 1986, Dr. Robert Bakker, in "The Dinosaur Heresies", brought modern dinosaur science into the mainstream and, with it, he inspired a whole new generation of "paleo-artists" to pick up the cudgel (or brush or pen or computer stylus) and to start illustrating these new ideas, new interpretations, and the multitudinous new finds coming out of such previously ignored places as South America and China. This book reflects a compendium of select works from 9 of the "second generation" of the artists thus inspired, plus the work of Gregory Paul, who, if he is the least "artistic" of the group, is probably one of the most influential of this new wave of "dino-drawers". Almost all of the artists showcased acknowledge Bakker as their inspiration and Paul as their mentor, tho' their work differs extraordinarily in both technique and result, from the utterly "photo-realistic" (such as the works of Julius Csotonyi and Luis Rey) to the almost Japanese brushwork illustrations of artists such as John Conway. None of the artist's works are a disappointment and all are utterly compelling and intriguing, with an excellent (if necessarily limited) selection of works from each of the featured artists, all beautifully presented on high quality paper stock and in full color. Be aware, however, that this is NOT a book about ancient animals. It is a book about art, with the text, in each case, consisting of an interview with the featured artist, which only tangentially touches on the subject matter. As an art book, however, it succeeds brilliantly. Seeing the utter revolution in the depiction of extinct animals which has followed in the wake of Bakker's book (helped, in many cases, by evolving technology, including, particularly, the various means of creating "digital art"), one almost feels like Cosimo de Medici, watching as the new thinking and new techniques of the Renaissance displace the tired conventions of Medieval artwork and its increasingly degraded reiteration of Byzantine artistic conventions. If I have any bone to pick with the book (aside from the short shrift given to the animals depicted and the lack of much discussion of them) it is the exclusion of what really was the "first wave" of this paleo-art revival in favor of the "enfant terribles" who followed them. Where are the Czerkas brothers? Where is John Gurche (whose work provided the cover art for Bakker's book)? Where are David Peters and Mark Hallet? Leaving those artists out (esp. Gurche and the Czerkas) is like writing a book about the Renaissance without discussing Fra Angelico and Giotto or the Dutch oil painters, such as Van Eyck. All the artists featured deserved to be featured, but one wishes that, perhaps, a few more might have been tapped for inclusion. It is a relatively piddling gripe, however, and the book is a delight whether the interest is art or dinosaurs, the type of book one can visit and revisit over and over again without satiation. Well worth the price.

If you like paleoart, you should like this.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 8, 2015

There are many books out there that feature the work of a particular paleoartist. There are also many books that include the work of many artists, but are primarily "encyclopedias" or have significant scientific content. More rare are anthologies of paleoart that exist solely for the purpose of showing the art itself. The last example I remember was "Dinosaur Imagery" from 2000. This year we have a new one "Dinosaur Art. The World's Greatest Paleoart," edited by Steve White. (I am not sure if the title is implying the art is great because it depicts dinosaurs, or that the book contains the greatest dinosaur art.) Steve White is a British comic book writer and editor, but also an illustrator of dinosaurs.

DATWGP deals with ten currently practicing artists (in alphabetical order): Mauricio Anton, John Conway, Julius Csotonyi, Doug Henderson, Todd Marshall, Raul Martin, Robert Nicholls, Gregory S. Paul, Luis Rey, and John Sibbick. The Foreword and Introduction are provided by Dr. Philip Currie and Dr. Scott Sampson, respectively. I am not sure why these artists are included and not some of my other favorites like, say, William Stout or James Gurney. About 15 pages is devoted to each artist. The text of the book is in the form of a short bio followed by an informal interview of each artist, much as we have seen in the paleoart magazine "Prehistoric Times." The text comprises only 15-20% of the space of the book, with the rest being whitespace and the art itself. There are also separate sections or "boxes" that tell about a particular animal (some of which I have not heard of before). Another reviewer has noted that the boxes are in the same font as the main text and the boxes are not otherwise set off with borders or different background color, so sometimes you lose the thread of the text. I have to agree.

The art itself is spectacular, of course, and that alone is enough to buy the book. There are a number of styles. Doug Henderson, for instance, is mostly a landscape artist (who happens to include prehistoric animals); he works in a soft almost impressionistic style. Raul Martin's dinosaurs, on the other hand, are pin sharp with lots of detail. Luis Rey's work is noted for being especially colorful, with the dinosaurs garbed in almost neon hues. Not all the art is of dinosaurs. Mauricio Anton, for instance, specializes in mammals. There are many crocodilians, pterosaurs, and marine reptiles. The worst thing you can say is that you probably have seen a lot of these paintings before, especially for the artists that have been around a long time.

All the artists are pretty obsessed with getting the science right and are pretty disparaging of artists that don't try. Most were inspired by Bob Baaker and the Dinosaur Renaissance in the 1980's. It is interesting that within the scientific uncertainty some have the philosophy of "don't show feathers on theropods unless there is direct evidence", and some work by "feathers make everything look cool."

You can see that modern paleoart has gone at least partly digital. A few of the artists, for instance Julius Csontonyi, show digitally painted animals photoshopped over a photographed landscape. A few still work in physical media (pencils and paint). Some of those still use the classical technique of making small dinosaur sculptures to use as models before beginning the painting.

I give this book a high recommendation.

A Time Travelling Safari for the Armchair Tourist

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is a staggeringly beautiful collection of THE BEST work of almost a dozen artists whose speciality is prehistoric life.And what a range of talents have been brought to bear on this subject!I have rarely seen so many spectacular illustrations of the creatures and places that time has forgotten now brought back to life by the colourful and passionate imaginations of paleoartists in a single book.Bravo.
This volume contains glorious illustrations of both the oldest and newest creatures to have been uncovered over the years and each benefits from the individual artists interpretations of just how they would have appeared in their natural environment.There are some wonderfully detailed pencil sketches but the majority of the work displayed here is in the form of great pages filled with colourful illustrations.Some of the foldouts are simply stunning in their detailed authenticity and depth of field,and ,whilst the more photo-realistic work could easily pass as prehistorical digital holiday snaps, there are pictures here that are oil paintings in their own right.The range, techniques and talent displayed here is as wide ranging as their dinosaur subjects.
And there are many of them. From pterosaurs to prehistoric mammals ,from Jurassic seascapes and skies to Pleistocene pastures, all the favorite and famous "monsters" are present, along with many of the newly discovered bird raptors from China.This is the best volume I've seen for years.Truly a joy for the eye to behold.

The book itself and its content are great but I opened it up to find lots of damage to the pages.

This is clearly a book someone has returned to Amazon and they’ve just re wrapped it in cellophane and resold it.

Usual bad business from amazon, they never check returns and just resell them meaning people like me get sent bad quality products

Great Art

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 10, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book well deserves a five stars rating. It includes the art and opinions of eight leading 'paleoartists'. In each case we have an interesting interview with the artist plus numerous illustrations of his work. They have different conceptions of how prehistoric life has to be depicted: for example Antón, Sibbick or Martín have a 'classical' style; and, with an opposite concept, Luis Rey is quite daring and innovative. Every reader will have his favourite, and I side with the 'classics', but to me all of them are great. So diversity is one of the assets of this book.
It is nicely produced -good paper, good binding, good size- and the illustrations (all of them, and there are many) are top quality, so it is in itself a piece of art.
Dinosaurs predominate, but mammals and sea reptiles are also represented.

Magnificent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a fascinating book, and well worth the purchase price, with one proviso. The quality of the reproductions is excellent, and the art works themselves are wonderful. However, purchasers need to be aware that this is primarily a book about paleoart and artists, not the animals they depict. While there is a certain amount of information about the creatures themselves, the emphasis is firmly on the artists, their techniques, materials and the problems they face in reconstructing ancient creatures from their fossilised remains. This is therefore a book for grownups - if you are tempted to buy it for a dino-mad youngster you might be better to look elsewhere, despite the amazing art works this one contains. On the other hand, if you have a teenaged aspiring artist in the house, or an interest in the crossover between art and science represented in this book, I would say this is a must-read.
