I am a fan of Anne Rice, Stan's wife, and was curious about his art. The art is intriquing and certainly unique. I only wish there was more written about the artist inasmuch as an artists work usually an upshot of events in his life.
The art and book were a pleasant surprise.

Vivid, passionate, primitive - 113 paintings by the poet Stan Rice. Here, his canvases explore the terrain of his poetry, as he captures the familiar and the mythical, the magical and the everyday.
Here are legendary beasts, card players; images inspired by Greek myths, Bible stories, nursery rhymes. Some pay homage to objects - others to living things. They belong to no contemporary school. They are at once childlike, ironic, and darkly humorous - paintings that attest to the original vision of a talented poet and painter.

I'm a big fan of this artist and the images in the book are well printed. Large size makes it even more fun to look at.
