Product Description
Product Description
The compelling paintings and posters of Tara McPherson are a tour-de-force of creative tension, at once heartfelt and heartbreaking. Creating art about people and their odd ways, recalling many issues from childhood and adult life experience, McPherson creates images that are thought-provoking and seductive. Tara's array of work includes numerous gig posters for rock bands, including Green Day, Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie, and advertising and editorial illustrations for a diverse group of clients. Her prints and paintings have been exhibited in galleries all over the world. Lonely Heart is the first printed collection of McPherson's work.

This is a lovely wee book. Not only is it full of beautiful illustrations and poster art, but Tara Mcpherson has also included the stages from her sketchbook as some of the key pieces have developed, with lovely printing on tracing paper showing the progression. Inspiring stuff. I am looking forward to see what she does next.

This is a fabulous book! As Tara McPherson's art is well-drawn and slick, I enjoyed the fact that there were tipped-in semi-transparent pages with sketches to give an idea of the work in progress. Some nice photos of the artist at work too. I shall be buying her new book and I hope that's as good as this one - she's an inspiration.
Format:Hardcover
This is a lovely book to own for anyone who enjoys Tara McPherson's sickly sweet yet disturbing style of art that could be described as comic, cartoon, or even pop surrealist. If I'm honest, I preferred the second volume of her work, but they make a beautiful pair. I felt the second book showed a progression in her style, a darker edge to her themes, whereas this at times veered towards the cutesy, swerving back just in time before it became too saccharine for my tastes. Beautifully produced and an amazing first attempt, it was nice to see some of the band posters she's worked on included at the end (and to find that a lot of them are bands I like!)
