Lozano and Rivera
Published by TASCHEN.
A masterpiece of publishing...spectacular, sumptuous and magnificent. This is the most impressive
art book we have ever seen. This volume is about 17x11 and almost 3 inches thick. The book opens with a full page self-portrait
of Rivera which startles you with its intensity. Rivera's work on the walls of public and private institutions appear
on the almost 700 pages of this unique offering. War and peace, medicine, industry, politics and work are presented in these
frescoe-murals. The Detroit Institute of Art the Rockefeller Center murals, U.C. Berkeley, they are all here. The sketches,
diagrams, explanations and text explain the work, life and genius of Rivera.
It was pleasure to see a book which
has provided so much pleasure and fascination.
Lush Life ...Richard Price / Farrar,
Straus and Giroux.. Once again Price, the greatest writer of dialogue living or dead has created a masterwork. Price is an
American Balzac but funnier. The speakers have been plucked right off the streets in front of Katz's on Houston. This
is a love letter to the old neighborhood. Anyone who has read Price knows the drill, open the first page and it's soon
5 AM and you have gotten no sleep and as Price himself says..' I have confidence in my own bullshit, you know..' Yes
we do know Richard and thanks for the bullshit. There should be a law that Price must produce one book a year ' OR ELSE
' Richard Price, a master of American urban crime fiction.
