MEDUSA (1988 / 2002)
Medusa, Chris's third book published by Dragon's world in 1988 (white cover) and by Iconia in 2002. Foreword by Patrick Woodroffe and text by Nigel Suckling.
“…a book about techniques, a fascinating insight into the methods of a superlative craftsman, and as is quite often the case, a sketch may tell us as much as a finely finished painting, a description of the methods of production may be as interesting as the product itself. In this book we are privileged to admire not only Christo’s preliminary drawings – so dynamic, so immediate – but also the painting process itself. The images take shape before your very eyes.” Extracted from Foreword to Medusa By Patrick Woodroffe.
Medusa availble on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com
