This is Nick Bantock's autobiography of his creative life and development as an artist. The road was initially a bit rocky and early art instructors were not encouraging about his prospects. Thankfully, he persevered and did not give up on his dream and we now have his lovely books to sigh over. The Artful Dodger is full of his beautiful illustrations/collages with a bit on his idea development. ( ) I feature this book as a source of inspiration. I love looking over artists' shoulders, reading what they have to say about their work process and finished pieces, seeing the progression of their work over a long span of time; for all this, even though I had only vaguely heard of Nick Bantock when I came across this book, I grabbed it and was glad. It is autobiographical in nature, Bantock speaking of his beginnings, experience in the field and works in progess, but the emphasis is entirely on the work, and the book is generously illustrated with it. Bantock is exceptionally versatile, so this volume makes my illustration senses tingle everytime – so much to try, so many ways of using a medium, so many directions into which to push one's personal style. The text really is interesting, discussing creative processes of works by him known and less known. Considering its price, this book will mostly interest Nick Bantock fans and serious illustrators building a library of big names in the field. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

With sales of his Griffin & Sabine Trilogy surpassing three million copies, it's been said that Nick Bantock has created an original literary genre. Now he brings new meaning to the art of autobiography with The Artful Dodger: Images and Reflections, in which he infuses the tale of his professional and artistic life with warmth and wit. The Artful Dodger surveys the vast and varied territory that Bantock's work encompasses: from his English art-school days to paperback covers, pure abstract experimentation to pop-up books, Griffin & Sabine to his most recent work. Bantock's own words lend a highly personal, often revealing, always entertaining angle to more than 350 resplendent images. As rich in life as it is in art, The Artful Dodger reveals the creative range of a modern graphic master. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
