Creation (Master Illustrator Series, The)

Description

Review 'There is much to admire in [Gennady] Spirin's devout treatment of the opening verses of the Bible. Elegant watercolor images begin as simple compositions and become increasingly complex as the familiar story develops. Spirin trims the pictures to arcs and semicircles, echoing the earth's own roundness. Deliberately painterly in their style, the grand images recall the work of Renaissance masters, polished with a contemporary Russian sensibility, and their figures -- angels, God, Adam and Eve -- are accordingly beautiful....[A]s a lovely interpretation of the verses, this is a version that many families will treasure.' -- Booklist <br><br> (Booklist) Read more From the Back Cover The Master Illustrator Series celebrates Scripture through the vivid compositions of acclaimed contemporary artists commissioned specifically for this series.
