It’s difficult to know where to begin. I know one thing, I would not want to review art books for a living. It is going to be very difficult to appreciate the quality of this effort without holding it in your hands and seeing the images.
First, I would like to start by congratulating Paul Chapman, David Mitchell, Chris McGregor, Lynn Wilson and Alastair Rawlinson. The number of editors would seem to be a good indication of how much work went into bringing this first of its kind project from an idea to a reality. As the authors point out and clearly demonstrate, “Art can be found in surprising places.”
The images have come from around the world and include a wide range of subject matter including historic sites, topography, architecture, plants, plants, machines, objects, animals, people and more.
A few of my favorites include Me and I – a haunting pc of multiple images of the same person from different angles; Diamond Street houses – the juxtaposition of the houses with the purple colors caught my eye; Vertigo – the vaulted ceiling of a castle in Naples; the Forth Road Bridge which requires two pages to give one some idea of the scale of this immense project and Self-pointrait, a collage of incomplete models of houses in New Zealand.
I realize this does not provide much detail, so the only solution is to buy the book! Click here to purchase. I am sure this would make a great gift idea for us 3D geeks.
