Book Reviews of The Art of Tasha Tudor
Book Review: Full of beauty and joy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I do not understand the review by the person who panned this book. The author was very respectful of Ms. Tudor and kept raving about her genius. I thought the choice of reproductions was wonderful. I'm a Tudor fan and have several of her books but many of the illustrations I had not seen before. I have not read the whole book yet, but if you are a fan of Tudor's quaint and romantic style I highly recommend adding this book to your collection and ignoring the gossip.
Summary of The Art of Tasha Tudor
This retrospective look at Tasha Tudors art is the culmination of Harry Davis work of the past decade, recording the observations and compiling the art of the renowned author and illustrator. The book includes well-known as well as lesser-known images. Drawing from thousands of pieces that Tudor has produced over her long career, Davis has chosen the best examplessome well-known, some never before publishedwhich he illuminates through his accompanying text.Author-illustrator Tasha Tudor is one of America's most recognized and beloved artists. Her many classic children's books--Pumpkin Moonshine, 1 Is One, and Corgiville Fair to name a few--have virtually raised generations of children, and all signs point to their continued popularity for generations to come. In The Art of Tasha Tudor, the artist's longtime business partner and friend, Harry Davis, presents a remarkable retrospective of her life and work, featuring 150 of her finest drawings and paintings, from books, fashion designs, holiday cards, and her personal sketchbooks. The beautiful tribute is not without controversy, however, if only in that Davis and Tudor apparently parted company on not the best of terms. However, for the innumerable devotees of Tasha Tudor's extraordinary lifestyle and art, the book is indeed a comprehensive treasure. Tracing Tudor's life from early years with her family through some difficult periods with her husband and children to the present, Davis includes many amusing, poignant, and cutting anecdotes that could only come from an intimate acquaintance. Throughout, of course, are Tudor's exquisite illustrations of small critters and adorable children, most often set against a rustic New England backdrop. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter
