Title: Jasper Johns a Revised and Expanded Edition by Michael Crichton ISBN: 0500092400 Publisher: Norton*(ww Norton Co Format: Hardcover |
Average Customer Rating: 5
Rating: 5
Summary: Good
Comment: Novelists have always loved artists, and artists have always loved novelists. They love and admire the other's talent, but--most important--they are not competitors. Crichton's love of Johns' work certainly comes forth, and Johns' seemed flattered that a best-selling novelist, and not an art professor, wanted to do a book on him. That mutual admiration underlies why this is such a solid book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Probably as good as possible--without being intrusive
Comment: The author well restrained himself from "digging into the painful childhood" that produced such an unusually remote "negator of impulses." He brought out the positive aspects of Johns personality--his ability to laugh at himself and not always to take himself too seriously. "His work is a constant negation of impulses" said the critic..."wouldn't you say so Jasper?" "NO" says Jasper, laughing. Jasper can laugh. That is nice. The author respected his need for privacy in his personal life. He presented a very difficult, complex personality with dignity, humor, and good taste.
Rating: 5
Summary: Jasper Johns: Interesting.
Comment: Jasper Johns is a very large, and expensive book. It has many illestrations, and lots of commentary. This is a Crichton that has faded into the background, and in some cases can be very hard to find.
