By René Le Bihan, Renée Mabin and Martica Sawin
Hardback, 301 pages
ISBN 2-86843-244-1
(This is the Breton language version of the Editions Palantines volume, ISBN 2-911434-17-X)
Still not the perfect Tanguy book, but v good.
- Images separate from text
- All in colour
- All a decent size
Gripes:
- Some images disappearing into the gutter (where spread across two pages)
- Some coloured borders
- Not sure about having the paintings all the way to the edge of the page
It beats the Karin von Maur book (see previous post) on layout, image size and number of paintings. But I'm not sure about print quality. It's more variable in this volume. Comparing prints of the same painting, the von Maur repros generally look brighter and sharper. Whether that makes them better or not is a matter of taste, obvs. If I had to choose between the two I would pick this one.
Like the von Maur volume, I'd put this in the 20 to 30 quid bracket.
