Warhol Cameo (Great Modern Masters) - Hardcover

Unique, bizarre, and often controversial, Andy Warhol in life and in death bridged the gap between high art and the ordinary, creating works that explored almost every artistic genre. From screen printing and "supermarket" art to oil paintings and photography, Warhol rocked the established art world, perhaps more so than any of his contemporaries. Collected within this illustrated guide to the "King of Pop" are almost 70 images reproduced with excellent clarity and incorporating every stage of Warhol's diverse artistic career. Fascinating histories of each piece make this a highly recommended guide to a cultural icon. --Naomi Gesinger

YAAEach of these volumes is arranged into three sections. First, the artist is introduced in the context of his time. The second part is a biographical sketch, accompanied by photographs of the artist. The third section consists of excellently reproduced, full-color photographs of the artist's work, with descriptive text and an overview of his career. Some of the works are not often seen, and are a feast for the eye. The clear grouping of information and the handsome layout, page design, and typography make these books appealing and accessible, even though they have no indexes. The texts are presented in a straightforward manner that is easy to understand. Suitable for research as well as for recreational reading.ATurid Teague, Fairfax County Public Library,
