aabha's review against another edition
4.0
I like the basic art series by Taschen. The format and size are great and they do give you a nice introduction. I loved looking at the beautifully printed reproductions of Durer’s art. He really was a singular talent and I just love how he draws nature(such cute cows). Actually I really like how he paints people too. He really was a polymath who possibly was the first to the concept of the “selfie.” All jokes aside, his religious art, fueled by his own religious fervor and strong leanings towards the Lutheran reformation is impactful and beautiful. They really do evoke strong reactions in the viewer.
The text could be better, it was a bit dry in spots. There is lots of flipping around to see the works being referred to. But I suppose that can’t be helped. I shall be reading more of this series.
