Albrecht Duerer
I bought a small Taschen book today at Bouvier, another to add to the several I've collected these last few years. This time it was a group of sketches and watercolors by Albrecht Dürer, an artist probably best known for his spectacular woodcuts. I wanted to share some images from my own copy, but the scans keep coming out with odd horizontal bands. Maybe I can figure out later how to tweak that to make them look better. For now, I have the cover picture (which I scanned successfully) and some images I snagged from the web (also all in the book.) The watercolors are brilliant -- they're five-hundred years old and they still feel strangely modern.
