This is a short art book, with about 20 pages of explication and 81 prints, mostly b/w. I knew nothing about Ryder prior to looking at this. I’m intrigued by his use of unique materials, as well as the way his art is decaying because of the way he layered his paints so thickly. His work is apparently full of cracks and other heavy signs of deterioration, which is fascinating in itself. He was inspired by nature, especially the sea, and even based some paintings off of literature, including show more Poe. Overall, good stuff. I would have liked a more detailed biography but I’ll hang on to this for the prints, which are very evocative. show less
Wonderful small color photographs of the statuary.
Large format makes for great impact of this art...
