Ivan....where's the color for you?
I just recieved my copy of Ivan's latest self-portraits and I'm disappointed in the book. I've been a lover of his work since I first saw his painting in the old movie "A Picture of Dorian Grey", where he and his twin brother both working for the movie studio did the paintings. One doing the young Dorian and one doing the morphed, grotesque version of Dorian which Ivan painted. I was so hoping for something better. Its a small book with maybe one or two color prints of his later portraits. I understand that color is more expensive but really, why bother....its almost an insult to put a book together without HIS color! I'm keeping it only because I love Ivan, but come on....its like a cheap catolog from an exhibition where knowone really cared or loved his work.
