I have longed for an art book of the work of Donald Roller Wilson. I saw his stuff at a gallery in SF and could just sit for hours staring at it. (Sorta like the internet!)
Do you have any of his work hanging on your walls?
Nope, not those prices.
And precious little wall space to begin with....
Do you have any of your art book artists on your walls, JP?
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.
Yes. I don't really buy many film score CDs or TV show DVDs anymore--though I still listen and watch-- and, as I mentioned in the opening post, my art book interest was one that was long deferred, but its time has come.
Will we be able to find you under the rubble when "The Great Clerk Behind the Deli Counter" calls your number?
I'm not sure I'll care once I'm in between slices of heavenly bread in that "Great Pastrami Sandwich in the Sky" (or the afterlife of your choice, if applicable).
Thanks for the bump. It's a lovely book and one I also mentioned in one of the Bond threads some time ago, though most of those yuks were too busy glorifying one era and/or tearing down another to notice or care.
In other Confessions of an Art Book Junkie news, I recently visited the Neue Galerie in New Yawk City and was impressed with the Egon Schiele exhibit there and so now I have added this to the old collection
Egon Schiele's Women
I love this degenerate bastard's work. Love it. Degenerate. Bastard. Love.
A few years back, I purchased a book of the works of Gustave Dore, but I can't seem to find it at the moment. I always liked the look of his drawings for some reason. Do his works count?
