DESCRIPTION:
In Ryden’s world cherubic girls rub elbows with strange and mysterious figures. This sweeping retrospective brings together nearly two decade’s worth of Mark Ryden’s paintings and works on paper, broadening the horizons of his uncanny universe and bringing it to the world, one page at a time.Text in English, French, and German. Mark Ryden’s carnival of curiosities: Fuzzy bunnies, big-eyed girls, meat, magic, and mysteryBlending themes of pop culture with techniques reminiscent of the old masters, Mark Ryden has created a singular style that blurs the traditional boundaries between high and low art. Ornately carved frames lend the paintings a baroque exuberance that adds gravity to their enigmatic themes. His work first garnered attention in the 1990s when he ushered in a new genre of painting, “Pop Surrealism,” dragging a host of followers in his wake. He has trumped the initial surrealist strategies by choosing subject matter load
Updated, but still not a complete retrospective dressed in black The difference between the first printing and the updated printing of Pinxit is that the first printing had a different cover, was larger and had centerfolds of the details and larger pieces. This new printing is smaller, more pages, single and double pages instead of centerfolds (with smaller frames. One Black and white image in particular, now you can't even make out the details!), updated pai. Mark Ryden is a genius and this is the best collection of all of his work! G. Wells Cannot say enough about THE Mark Ryden and his amazing art.GET THIS BOOK!!!. Five Stars Gary k morgan Great condition
