Under the radar
This is the model for how an art book should look. Large format. Beautiful reproductions. Details of shown paintings. All in color. Many paintings shown. How I missed this book, I dont know.

Wieland Schmied, Edward Hopper

Prestel, 1997

An easy start to appreciate Hopper's work.
This book is quite easy to read while sometimes it's not easy to enjoy the pleasure of an art work. Edward Hopper, an icon of the realistic painter of the U.S.. Solitude, isolation and alienation are common emergence in many Hopper's work. It's like reading a novel of metaphor leaving "readers" a huge space to imagine the context of the painting. The book provides a lot of clues for us to step ...

Prestel Publishing, 1996

Definitive Volume
Of all the books in print about the works of Francis Bacon, so many of them can be browsed without paying much attention to the commentary. Not here. This volume is extravagantly illustrated with many lesser known paintings by Francis Bacon, but it doesn't stop there. There is a very fine chronological timeline with photographs which show us the progression of the artist, his friends, lovers, ...

Wonderful Reference
This is a wonderful reference book for information concerning 20th century artists. Included is biographical data, main exhibitions, and the character of the work. The primary focus is Western Europe and the USA, although, a few artists from Latin America and Japan are included. I would agree with all of the nice things that the editorial review says. This is the most complete and up-to-date ...

Christian Ludwig: Attersee
Heike Eipeldauer, Georg Hollander, ...

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2006

The Austrian artist Christian Ludwig spent some of his childhood in Attersee and later built the town's name into his pseudonym. Though he was known in his youth as a sarcastic parodist, Attersee has since been a staunch defender of more traditional painting. This book focuses on his most recent works, which Rudi Fuchs calls "acrobatic images of extraordinary boldness."
