We've got two very good looking and affordable new art books in the store I want to type about, both by contemporary American artists: Mat Brinkman's Heads and Dana Schutz's Rizzoli catalog.
Heads is an incredible collection of ink-on-rice paper heads, one of Rory's acquisitions from the New York Art Book Fair. As Brinkman drew these heads, the ink from each drawing would seep onto the next page, giving form to the next head, and so on. The effect is marvelous; some heads are more skeletal, some come out as out of focus b&w Wookiees.
