About This Item
UK,Qrto HB+dw/dj,1st reprint.[1st edn,1981.] FINE/FINE.No owner inscrptn but price-clipped to dw/dj.Pictorial colour illustrated dw/dj with minimal shelf-wear to edges,no nicks or tears and light creasing to head of spine/backstrip.Black paper-covered boards with gilt letters to spine/backstrip and plain black endpapers. Contents bright,tight and pristine.UK,Qrto HB+dw/dj,1st reprint,143pp includes a foreword,an introduction; and a potted biography of White; b/w illustrations and 116 colour plate illustrations of the artist's work. This is the first published collection in book form of the work of Tim White.His paintings depict the landscape of the imagination,and imagination is our vehicle of exploration into the realms of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Fantasy art has always provided a popular means of expression and for the contemporary artist the rapid growth of the Science Fiction and Fantasy scene is an ever-widening frame of reference and an unending fund of inspiration.Many of the illustrations contained in this collection were pieces of commissioned artwork for publisher's book covers. Compromises obviously have to be made to accommodate,for example,a publisher's art director,but this can be advantageous rather than merely restrictive.Tim White combines superlative detail with a largely figurative approach to his interpretation, and creates a totally realistic image of his landscape of the imagination. He has produced over one hundred illustrations for book covers, and his other work includes record sleeves, magazine illustrations and private commissions.His work has also appeared in several exhibitions of Science Fiction and Fantasy art.
