Product Description
pJapanese artist Yoshitaka Amano began his career with exceptional design work on fan-favorite anime such as Gatchaman/G-Force and Time Bokan and popular graphic novels iSandman: The Dream Hunters /iand iWolverine Elektra: The Redeemer, /ibut it wasn't until he turned his attention to the medium of printmaking that his artistic genius began to flower. Drawing from influences as diverse as Art Nouveau and Art Deco traditions, American comics, Japanese ukiyo-e, and traditional fantasy illustration, Amano's prints capture a breathtaking world -- sometimes whimsical, sometimes luxurious, and sometimes terrifying./ppiAmano: The Complete Prints/i showcases hundreds of these captivating works, comprising an impressive, comprehensive look at one of the art world's visionary talents. Art scholar and critic Unno Hiroshi contributes an insightful message on Amano, the genesis of this style, and his place in the panoply of art history. Also included is a brief timeline noting the high points of the artist's career./p

4 out of 5 stars AMANO fans only   February 11, 2008
The book is well put together and has great image quality, but unless your a big Amano fan than this book is probably not for you. Honestly I wish I could truly give this book 5 stars because I love his ink designs but some of his fairy concepts is not my cup of tea. As for range this book delivers like few art books do and you truly get a feel for his style and what he's about.br /If you got the change to spend and love art books than this will make a great addition to your collection. Otherwise I would go to a store and flip through it a bit to see if it is for you.


2 out of 5 stars Not up to my expectations. . .   December 2, 2007
  5 out of 11 found this review helpful

I've seen his work on the Arts channel and am impressed, but when I looked at this book I was disappointed. I hadn't realized he did violent, prurient comic books for adults, and much of this book is devoted to those examples. However, his line and color and the flowing mystic quality are what attract me, but I am turned away by his subject matter.


5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking Art!   November 11, 2007

This is an amazing item! The art work is simply stunning. Since words are inadequate to describe this book, you must buy it immediately!


4 out of 5 stars just work   January 26, 2007
  7 out of 7 found this review helpful

The book is wonderful but keep in mind half of the book is a catalog of his work (for other words ton of pictures that are inch and a half by an inch).


5 out of 5 stars Highly recommendable   January 23, 2007
  2 out of 3 found this review helpful

This book is a perfect artbook, an wonderful edition, with an excellent paper, and high quality images. Some pages can unfold and form large and amazing images. br /This book has a complete collection of the drawings and paintings more remarkable of the author,and reflects the influence of the traditional Japan and the modern occidental arts.br /It is an artbook that you cannot let have if you really admire Amano's works.
