Fascinating pavement chalk art by a master of the craft, now with
new art. "Beever's mastery and unbridled humour are on full display
in these dazzling drawings, each accompanied by a description that
details artistic techniques, discusses challenges the artist faced,
and offers an inside look into his process." Publishers Weekly
(starred review, on the previous edition). The pavement chalk
artist is a master of art, perspective, creativity and performance.
Julian Beever is one such extraordinary master. More than just
traditional flat drawings, the works Beever creates are uniquely
three-dimensional anamorphic drawings. They are drawn in
perspective and distorted so the subject can be viewed properly
only from one particular viewpoint. For those who are standing in
the right place, his chalk drawings invite them to step right into
the scene or, in the case of the artist's well-known "Swimming Pool
in the High Street", dive right into the water. Pavement Chalk
Artist includes a fabulous selection of Beever's most intriguing
anamorphic drawings. Each one is accompanied by a description of
the techniques he used and the challenges he overcame. These
photographs record the development of his unusual skill and
understanding of perspective. Readers can see how his art
progresses and matures as he takes on commissioned works and a
wealth of original, inventive subjects in locations worldwide. The
photographs tell the story, giving readers both an understanding of
the principles of this 3-D art form and the pleasure of sharing the
scenes that passersby once enjoyed before these unique works
disappeared forever. This new edition includes 16 new pages of
Beever's recent art, in addition to the 16 added to the second
edition, for a total of 32 new pages.
