New To The Book Collection Of Cool - Remember Those? Books?

 

Challenging, controversial, educational, and irreverent, the 15th anniversary addition to the award-winning Spectrum series reinforces both the importance and prevalence of fantastic art in today’s culture. With exceptional images by extraordinary creators, this elegant full-color collection showcases an international cadre of creators working in every style and medium, both traditional and digital. The best artists from the United States, Europe, China, Australia, South America, and beyond have gathered into the only annual devoted exclusively to works of fantasy, horror, science fiction, and the surreal, making Spectrum 17 one of the year’s most highly anticipated books. With art from books, graphic novels, video games, films, galleries, and advertising, Spectrum is both an electrifying art book for fans and an invaluable resource for clients looking for bright new talent. The entire field is discussed in an invaluable, found-nowhere-else year in review. Contact information for each artist is included in a handy index. Often imitated, never equaled, Spectrum 17 continues the freshness and excellence that was established 16 years ago.

 

I can pour over these books for hours and hours. Happy to find this one for cheap cheap at the second hand book store. My mother reads and trades in so many books that she always had credits for even bigger discounts on these rare finds. They really are like nothing else out there if you like to see beautiful photography and reprints or the greatest contemporary art out there. This is the kind of resource that I live for.
