Book Reviews of Artists in Their Studios: Where Art is Born
Book Review: BE CAREFEL
Summary: 2 Stars
I didn't understand how distracting and disappointing the photo collages would be until I received this book. Instead of straight-on or wide lend photos of the studios, the collages fracture the images just enough to REALLY bug the eye. I bought this book not because I like the products of most of the artists, they are conservative for the most part. I bought it so I could look at the studios in detail which I find inspiring, no matter what I feel about the product. The division of the photos and added slops of paint by Amos ruin this for me. The photos are not as disjointed as ones by David Hockney for example but they are not necessary, unless Mr. Amos just had to put his mark on them.
