love the art; dislike the presentation

3/5

Just wanted to voice my disappointment.
I really love the art/artist, but the layout/presentation left me cold.

on further thought I bumped my review to 3 stars.
Here's some explanation.
I'm not seeing the pixelation other reveiwers are seeing.
My main complaint is the layout of landscape paintings in portrait.
Some of the large landscape paintings are spread out over two pages, but they really don't quite do the painting justice.
They could have added detail insets for the larger paintings.
They could have added one or two foldout pages to capture one or two of the larger paintings.
They could have printed the landscape paintings in landscape instead of reducing them and putting two landscape paintings on one page in portrait.
I really wouldn't mind turning the book 90 degrees to see more detail.

The artist puts a lot of detail in his work.
The editors should have tried to showcase that detail in the larger paintings more than they have.

The paintings that were originally in portrait look great in the book.
