Speaking of Ralph McQuarrie, does anyone here know of any recent books featuring the art of Robert Delaunay? big grin

Great news (for me)! A new Otto Dix book is due March 2017. I regretted not picking up an earlier Dix book, but this latest volume should expiate that earlier decision.

Otto Dix: The Evil Eye

(turned out to be another disappointment; the quest continues)

Anyone familiar with TJ Scott? Photographer and television director of some popular series. His portrait work is amazing. He makes every model look stunning. In or out of clothes.

If you like "tasteful erotica", In The Tub has something everyone, male and female can appreciate.

Here's his Instagram page which shows high quality images from the book-

Jim, I think I remember checking on this when you originally posted, as I wasn't familiar with Delaunay. Just in case you haven't seen them (which strikes me as unlikely), here are the most recent I could find.

https://www.amazon.com/Art-Masters-182-Robert-Delaunay-ebook/dp/B07172KZTC/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1524513247&sr=1-4&keywords=robert+delaunay&dpID=51jpHn80PLL&preST=_SX342_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

And a 2019 calendar!: https://www.amazon.com/Robert-Delaunay-2019-FINE-ARTS/dp/3960136110/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1524513216&sr=1-2&keywords=robert+delaunay

Delaunay and Juan Gris are the two toughies in terms of recent quality monographs.

I'd forgotten I'd written that "Speaking of Ralph McQuarrie..." bit! I amuse myself (and no one else).

Point taken. I'm immune to anti-comic book-reading sentiment; especially after 40 years of obsessing over those funny books.

Comic books are part of why I'm the badass I am today.

There's so many art books I want to get. Ralph McQuarrie, Frazetta, Brian Froud, may others. Afraid to start collecting. I can't afford the few hobbies I have now!

I'll agree that art books are pricey, but once they go out of print--which is rather quickly--the prices skyrocket! So act now!

Only kinda, because art books go out of print and it may take a generation before a new retrospective arrives. frown frown

Somebody should turn Jodorowsky's Dune book into an art book.

The Art Of The Pulps: An Illustrated History. I just love the colourful art of those 30s & 40s pulp mags, science fiction, horror, detective, war, western, adventure. It's a beautiful (large) book, chock full of great pictures.

Ooh, I can't resist sharing my first taste of McQuarrie. I remember two, when I was 15 and 16.

The pre-release paperback of the Star Wars novelization, which I saw (but didn't buy!) in a book store months before release:



And the cover of the first "expanded universe" Star Wars novel, Splinter of the Mind's Eye.



I promise not to post any more McQuarrie until someone resurrects or creates a thread for the purpose!

I

Owned both.
Sold SW on Ebay.
Still have STAR WARS PORTFOLIO (for sale)

George Grosz is best-known for his caricatures of German city life in the 1920s, painting grotesque but often humorous renderings of Berlin society and nightlife with a cutting satirical commentary. Grosz's art was subsequently labeled "degenerate" by the Nazis, so he already stands large in my eyes. I love the "ugliness" of his work.


I really enjoy caricature art. I've wondered if there were ever a book about the work of Paolo Garretto.


Is this the closest I'm going to get?
