Hiroshi UminoHarry Clarke: An Imaginative Genius in Illustrations and Stained-Glass Arts (Pie × Hiroshi Unno Art)

Não é um livro tão belo quanto o do Alphonse Mucha (também da PIE, e o que me motivou a comprar este), mas ainda assim digno de admiração. Algumas pinturas do autor não são tão belas assim, mas todas têm um aspecto bem único. Também notei que certas pinturas não estavam impressas numa qualidade ideal. Em todo caso eu diria que vale a pena, eu paguei salvo engano 200 reais.

Beautiful book I highly recommend. Loved how it was packaged. Would buy from again.

PIE books are always a feast for the eye, and being a Harry Clarke fan I was thrilled to see that Hiroshi Unno wrote one about this marvelous artist. The cover (or rather, the slipcase) has a shiny effect which makes the colours dance and pop. As for the book itself - whilst it is not the complete collection of all of Clarke’s illustrations (I missed 1 or 2 Faust illustrations), it has nearly all well-known works and there is so much in it that is rare and never-seen-before! It contains not only the Poe and Faust illustrations and the famous stained-glass artistry for example, but also works made for friends and commercial work commissioned by companies.As for the text - it is bilingual, meaning both in Japanese and English. There is a nice snd informative biography on Clarke, and each chapter starts with an explanation or theme. Though there is more information below each individual illustration in Japanese, the camera function on the google translate app can make short work of that! So please do not let that stop you from buying this gorgeous book!

gift for someone and they were pleased as was i.very nice quality book.most of it is in japanese but the most important thing for me was the art so not much problem.

Das Buch ist sehr schön gestaltet und die Druckqualität ist gut.Leider sind ein viele Textabschnitte nicht ins Englische übersetzt worden.
