Ahw, *returns the love*, I'm happy to hear you appreciate this artsy post. I wasn't sure I should even mention the book in lj, since it's such a special subject. But I decided I wanted to share the passion for the paintings:)
I like the composition of Sleep of Endymion and I can see why it received praise, but his head is freakin' me out. It's so... so... big.
I'm in awe of a lot of the sculptures in the book. Dude, I wish I had as much knowledge as you on the subject, I only had a limited amount of art-history lessons in Graphic School. *bows to you*
