Dürer: Watercolours and Drawings Paperback – Download: Adobe Reader, April 1, 1997

Dürer's art: Absolute fidelity to every detail Five full centuries lie between us and the life of Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). His ability to represent a subject with an absolute fidelity to every detail seemed miraculous to his contemporaries, and still astounds us now: we need only think of his water-colours of plants and animals.

In addition, Dürer was the first painter to devote such close attention to the art of the self-portrait. No artist before him painted as many as he. The works by Dürer collected in this book show the full range of this artist’s unique genius. About the Series:
Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Art series features:
    • a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance
    • a concise biography
    • approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions

    John Berger's text is indispensible to understand Durer's importance in the history of human thought. The quality of the photographs is not perfect, but adequate.

    A small book but one of the best. I have several books on Durer, even so, there are excellent reproductions of beautiful drawings in this that I hadn't seen before. Also, I am a great admirer of John Berger's writings on art, and this short essay is perceptive, with good insights. With its small size, small price, quality content there is no reason not to add it to one's library.
