5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, compelling, disturbing, awesome - pure Barker!, 30 Dec 2005

By	"dombrewer" - See all my reviews

I ordered this book as a Xmas present for myself, and I wanted to leave a comment for anyone is thinking of picking up a copy - don't hesitate. This is a stunning collection of paintings, packaged with great love and attention. The paper quality, colour definition and solidity of the binding are all excellent. Additionally the outer edges of the pages are gilded, so I had the distinct pleasure of cracking open every page knowing it hadn't been opened since it left the printing press.

The introduction and chapter headings by Barker are informative and point out interesting facts or draw attention to details that might otherwise be missed at first glance. The chapter headings themselves seem a little random in places; you'll be in a chapter about landscape and be looking at a sketch of a creature, or see a painting of a moonlit castle in a chapter about demons. Barker presumably knows the links, but it does seem a little obscure at times.

My only gripe in an otherwise essential purchase is the relative absence of material related to his existing output. I was hoping to see large full colour reproductions of the "Books of Blood" paintings for example, or the sublime pen and ink drawings from "The Thief of Always" novella, but the majority of the images are unrelated to the fiction, and are simply of themselves. This is no bad thing though, as most of the images reproduced are presumably being printed for the first time and are a rare treat.

Barker says in his introduction that many of the paintings come to him as he paints; in other words he frequently never plans to paint something, he lets the brush do the thinking, producing works of uninhibited by conscious draftsmanship. Sometimes this is wonderful - the flights of fantasy involved in many of the paintings are mind-boggling, but occasionally I would have liked some coherence; at such times it occurred to me that some of the images created to accompany the existing fiction wouldn't have gone amiss. Perhaps Barker's publishers are saving them up - we can only hope a sister publication will follow.... *****

5.0 out of 5 stars Visions of Heaven and Hell, 15 Oct 2005

By	DM Webster "arakis2002" (Norfolk) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is the book I have been waiting for! Over three hundred pages of paintings and artwork by Clive Barker divided into sections. Each section has a particular theme eg. villains, death, sex, landscapes and comes with a short essay where Clive describes his thoughts about the paintings he has selected. To be honest many of the essays are negligible but the paintings more than make up for that! Printed on glossy paper with a beautiful cover this book is well worth the money... just don't give it to children- although there's a good selection of paintings from Abarat in here, there's also a lot of overtly sexual imagery.
