Bøger af David Sheskin

Inspired by the prosaic descriptions of the couples in the Times this book is comprised of 35 outrageous wedding announcements that one is not likely to find in the New York Times or, for that matter, any other newspaper. Each of the announcements begins with a fanciful illustration of the bride and groom followed by biographical information on the couple and their parents. The latter employs an irreverent brand of humor that aspires to depict the evolving realities and absurdities of the gluten free, pan seared, pansexual, politically correct age we live in today.

All members of the general public, especially those who are serious collectors of fine art and antiquities, are cordially invited to view David Sheskin's Cabinets of Curiosities. During the next two years all or part of the collection contained in this catalogue is scheduled to be displayed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Louvre Museum in Paris, the Tokyo National Museum and The National Museum of China in Beijing.

A self-taught artist and writer, David Sheskin has created a voluminous body of work over the past 40 years

A self taught artist, at the age of 40 David Sheskin created the first of hundreds of unique and imaginative works of art he would produce over the next thirty years. Initially working in pen and ink, during the 1980s and 1990s most of his drawings were published in numerous magazines, as well as in the book Magician With a Pen: The Collected Drawings of David J. Sheskin (Wingspan Press, 2007). Now for the first time the artist's more recent work is presented in a single volume in this visually stunning book which represents a collection of paintings, sculpture, mixed media works, and digital illustrations created by David Sheskin during the past 20 years. It contains more than 500 imaginative and uplifting images that are characterized by the artist's dramatic use of color and form. The book is divided into 18 galleries - each gallery being characterized by a specific theme that captured David Sheskin's imagination at a particular point in time. Many of the images in the book have been published within the format of calendars (by Avalanche Publishing and Pomegranate Communications, as well as in calendars published in Europe), note cards, jigsaw puzzles, and children's games. All of David Sheskin's art is available within the format of giclee fine art prints, and can be accessed on his website The Art of David Sheskin (www.davidjsheskin.com)
