Minsky, Richard THE ART OF AMERICAN BOOK COVERS.
New York George Braziller, Inc. 2010 large 8vo cloth, gilt 134 pages
From ornate floral patterns to cityscapes, the boldest book designs of the Golden Age are gathered here. Readers accustomed to todays more utilitarian bindings will find breathtaking images gold leaf patterns intricate enough to replicate the shimmer of feathers, forests rendered in rich color and silver, and elegant allusions to Asian art. The diversity and ingenuity of these books will capture the imagination not only of book lovers and collectors, but also of anyone who enjoys design.

Selecting the most beautifully crafted and influential pieces from his two-volume, limited edition catalog, Minsk uncovers the world behind a lost art. Dividing these breathtaking designs into distinct categories, he discusses the use of silhouettes, pattern, Oriental influence and more. He also reveals key artists, their signature designs and flourishes, the designs they inspired, and the designs that inspired them.

Richard Minsk founded the Center for Book Arts in 1974 and has worked for more than 35 years to draw attention to book art and encourage artists in the field. His work has been shown around the world and remains in public collections, including the National Gallery of Art and The Victoria and Albert Museum. He has received many fellowships, grants and awards of recognition, including several from the National Endowment for the Arts.
