Registre-se no LibraryThing tpara descobrir se gostará deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. A sequel of sorts to R. Crumb's Heroes of Blues, Jazz & Country. 100 colorful, introductory portraits of Blues greats. Some great trivia to go along with the factual information. ( ) Done in the R. Crumb style, this is a handy companion to his trading cards and book thereof. It concentrates on the post war blues artists, and so for me provides nice thumb-nail sketches of their biographies and most important records of artists I had seldom paid a great deal of attention to. In that sense, it can act as a good introduction to the post war blues, and perhaps the pre war artists will draw an audience less attentive to them in the opposite direction. As an art book, it has lovely pictures and is well bound and printed, and surprisingly inexpensive. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Robert Johnson, Ma Rainey, Billie Holiday, Howlin' Wolf, Bessie Smith, Muddy Waters-say their names out loud and you can just hear the blues. Now, acclaimed artist William Stout visualizes these artists and their music with 100 stunning portraits. This graphically powerful collection includes profiles of classic musicians drawn by a master illustrator. Stout beautifully captures the signature style of each blues legend and then adds authoritative biographical text with personal and humorous writing that brings it on home. Includes recommended playlists and an exclusive bonus music CD. Praise for Legends of the Blues: "So good, you'd think illustrator William Stout made a deal with the devil." -Mother Jones.com "I could go on and on about how much I love Stout's detailed pen-and-ink work and pleasing watercolors" - Boing Boing Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
