 Harvey Kurtzman: His Life and Work June 17, 2009
Sacramento Book Review (Sacramento, CA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Abrams ComicArts is a new imprint from the art and pop-culture publisher Abrams Books. The recently released //The Art of Harvey Kurtzman// is an excellent example of Abrams quality and attention to detail, and a splendid sign of things to come. Harvey Kurtzman, for those unfamiliar with is name, may have been one of the most influential artists, editors, and satirists in American culture, being most notably responsible for //Mad Magazine//. Kurtzman also helped launch the careers of Robert Crumb, Gloria Steinem, Terry Gilliam, and Art Spiegelman. Dennis Kitchen, comic editor and publisher himself, and Paul Bahle, American History and Culture professor, have collected hundreds of examples of art from the Kurtzman archives and created a visual history of his work, starting in the 1939 with an entry into a Buffalo Bob cartoon contest and ending with a //Kings in Disguise// cover from 1988. |

The Sartorialist 
Book Description
Scott Schuman just wanted to take photographs of people on the street who looked great. His now famous blog ('the bellwether American site that turned photo blogging into an art form' - "New York Times") was an attempt to showcase the wonderful and varied sartorial tastes of real people - not only those of the fashion industry. The book is a beautiful anthology of Scott's favourite shots from around the world. They include photographs of well-known fashion figures as well as those shots of the anonymous passerby whose imagination and taste delight the viewer. From the streets of Rio to Bejing, Stockholm to Milan, these are the people that have inspired Scott and in turn, inspired designers and people of all ages, wages and nationalities with an interest in fashion. Intimately designed and created with Scott, the book is a handsome object in its own right, in full colour on hand-picked, quality paper. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. |
