The multi-talented Annette Messager

+ Quite Nice Book

This book brought me to tears the first time I went through it. Everything I'd wish to be as a visual artist is displayed in this beautiful first monograph of the artist. 'Anatomie' (1995-6) is her masterpiece.

One Hundred Years of Solitude (P.S.)55 reviews
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2006

Hater of Magic

+ Garcia Marquez is great!
+ Excellent, but not typical of Marquez.

I knew I would hate the book. I can't stand magic, fantasy books or huge sprawling books. The short elegant novel is for me. But I thought I'd just try a few pages. A day later, my work copletely ignored, I emerged exhausted but exilerated. Yet, this is one of the greatest books I've ever read ...

Born in Paris in 1911, Bourgeois spent most of her career receiving little recognition from the art community. She has worked closely to many of the century's key artistic moments, from Surrealism to Abstract Expressionism to feminist-inspired art, and yet remains distinct from all these. An ...
