From the Office of Dusty Old Books
Last, and biggest, book today is Monograph by Chris Ware and this book is BIG.
Chris Ware's comics actually make me depressed, which I know for some people is the point. However, I can't get over the mastery of the medium on display in his work. He's a fine artist who chose comics as his medium, and this book is like a portfolio of a quarter century of art making by one of the greats.
Ware doesn't just make comics, he makes sculptures, and books, and all kinds of little side projects. It's a shocking amount of material on display here; sketches, original scans, notes, photos, all a testament to his work ethic and prolificacy. These photos don't do it any justice.
