Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neu -Die oftmals prächtigen Bilder des Amerikaners Taaffe (Jg. 1955) fungieren als eine Art Vermittler zwischen Zeiten, Gesellschaften und Kulturen. Seine geradezu romantisch zu bezeichnenden Malereien genießen große Beliebtheit bei Sammlern und dem Publikum. Hier stehen seine Studien nach der Natur im Vordergrund: subtile Pflanzen- und Naturzeichnungen, die an die Illustrationen früherer Jahrhunderte erinnern und zugleich etwas sehr Frisches besitzen. Eingebettet in ein Gespräch zwischen dem Künstler und dem Regisseur Stan Bakhage ist dieses limitierte, schön gemachte Buch mit seinen sechs eingebundenen, auf Mohawk Superfine gedruckten Reproduktionen ein faszinierendes Sammlerstück (Text englisch). 160 pp. Englisch.
