Old Testament, St. Jerome, Passion, Life of Virgin, Apocalypse, 346 in all. Introduction by Campbell Dodgson. "It was in woodcut design that the creative genius of Dürer reached its highest expression . . . the only available source for many of these works." — Antique Monthly.
Grandes trabajos de Dürer Una gran edición a costo más que razonable para mi. Contiene todos los grabados en madera.
Durer x Durer The visuals contained in this book by Durer are very very good. It gives you a great idea of what type of talent this man had. There is a very nice transition from his earlier work to the later noticeable due to the intricate detail woodcut by woodcut. If you are a fan of Durer, or wanted to know what he was capable of creating, I highly suggest checking this one out.
Classic This book is 346 pages, not 44 as listed. Dover has a newer edition. Durer masterworks.
Excellent Compilation This is the best compilation of Duerer prints I have ever seen. Duerer's talent is really downplayed in the avant-guarde scene today, but if you just look, you'll have instant appreciation. My only dissapointment was that the book does not include all of Duerer's Revelation woodcuts, which are my favorites. Anyway, I suggest you look into this book--it is amazing.
Spectacular talent Albrecht Durer was one of the most talented artists the world has ever seen, and his woodcuts, especially those of apocolyptic visions are spectacular. This book reproduces these woodcuts faithfully, and the images are not diminished by the format of the book as is often the case.
These images are the stuff of nightmares - hell, torment, torture and death, and yet the images are so startlingly realistic as to be almost poignant in their representations. Enjoyt the images for what they are - works of genius. In addition the commentary is worthwhile, with interesting observations of Durer's life and techniques.
A valuable addition to an art lover's library, but also a fascinating book for anyone who is interested in genius.
