Description

"[Barry] Moser is a rare being, a book illustrator working in a traditional medium with a distinctive and vital vision. The recipient of many awards, Moser has illustrated such foundational works as the King James Bible, Alice in Wonderland, and Moby-Dick. His newest book is wholly his own, a portrait gallery of 100 writers, artists, and leaders.... Moser's small, firmly detailed, strongly textured, and subtly expressive black-and-white portraits demonstrate all that art can grasp and encompass. We read, not merely look at, these dramatic portraits of people who gazed into the morass and out at the horizon and were indelibly changed and provoked by what they saw ... to name a few, Shakespeare, Keats, Sojourner Truth, Faulkner, Richard Wright, Sylvia Plath, and Thomas Eakins. Each astute, intricate, psychologically charged portrait extends what we thought we knew of each remarkable subject."—Booklist
