The definitive book, The Life and Art of Bernie Fuchs is now for sale by Illustration Press.
There were many obstacles and surprises on the road to this book, but I'm very pleased with the great job publisher Dan Zimmer of The Illustrated Press has done with it. I hope you'll give it a look.
The book is in full color and features over 300 illustrations. It is 240 pages long and is filled to the brim with Bernie's beautiful illustrations reproduced from the original paintings and drawings, as well as rarely seen tear sheets from vintage magazines, photographs, color studies, and more.
As with all of Dan Zimmer's books, you can preview a low resolution version of the book on line.
Great news. I've waited a long time for this.
ReplyDeleteThe book looks amazing. Congratulations and a service well done for Mr. Fuchs' legacy.
ReplyDeleteDavid, this is splendid news and I can think of nobody better positioned to have written this book. Summer now seems so far away.
ReplyDeleteMy travels and travails kept me otherwise occupied since when last you visited. I'd like to discuss a matter that, I believe, will interest you. Please contact me at the address other than Google.
I look forward to hearing from you again

good work David !
ReplyDeleteExcellent news and I concur with the comments above - I will be adding this splendid looking volume to the shelves of my personal library.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely an essential buy.
ReplyDeleteThe publisher's site says it isn't out until July, and I suppose it will then be a few weeks before copies are available in England.

Are all the special editions already sold? I'm very excited that this book is finally going to come out after all your years of work!
ReplyDeleteTom-- Thanks very much, I like to follow the comings and goings of artwork like Eby's etching, but that one escaped my attention.
ReplyDeleteClaire-- I believe they've all been sold, but check soon with Dan Zimmer the publisher-- he always has something up his sleeve. Thanks for your words of encouragement.
LOVE IT. By all means, one of America's overlooked great art talents.

I was introduced to serval illustrators from the 60's while taking an online figure oil painting workshop with Aimee Erickson last month. I am amazed by Robert Heindel and Bernie Fuchs. I would love to read this book but cannot locate a copy. I tried the link for previewing the book, but the text is not clear enough for me to read. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
