More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano began his career with exceptional design work on fan-favorite anime such as Gatchaman/G-Force and Time Bokan and popular graphic novels "Sandman: The Dream Hunters "and "Wolverine & Elektra: The Redeemer, "but it wasn't until he turned his attention to the medium of printmaking that his artistic genius began to flower. Drawing from influences as diverse as Art Nouveau and Art Deco traditions, American comics, Japanese ukiyo-e, and traditional fantasy illustration, Amano's prints capture a breathtaking world -- sometimes whimsical, sometimes luxurious, and sometimes terrifying.
"Amano: The Complete Prints" showcases hundreds of these captivating works, comprising an impressive, comprehensive look at one of the art world's visionary talents. Art scholar and critic Unno Hiroshi contributes an insightful message on Amano, the genesis of this style, and his place in the panoply of art history. Also included is a brief timeline noting the high points of the artist's career.

This book is fantastic value if you are an Amano fan. The print quality showcases his talent effectively in a convenient coffee-table book format.
It could do with more writing - perhaps some brief comments on some of the works, but I suppose that is not the purpose of a picture book, most of the time the images speak for themselves, and eloquently.

A lot of familiar works of Amano is displayed in this book but more importantly a lot of untold works also lie within. Each print is as spectacular as the next. There are a lot of different styles of work inside so there is pretty much a section for everyone.
There isn't a lot said about the images but that's perfectly fine because they speak for themselves and if you ever wander what the names of the prints are, the translation of the print names are on the back of the book.
Truly a book worth getting wheather you're an Amano fan, print-making fan, Vampire Hunter D fan, Final Fantasy fan etc. This book is definately worth purchasing.
