Paul Delvaux

My reading has slowed considerably this year, but I am still reading. I am also looking through a lot of art books, that I don't really consider reading because they are not novels, but I will include them in my blog with some information on them.
First one is Paul Delvaux, Graphic Work
I have seen Delvaux's work in a Surrealist book, and a few other art references. This book was entirely of etchings he did in the 1970's They all look like line drawing and are mostly model studies that do not have some of the rich settings of his painting. Additionally these were in black and white with the occasional that had color added. The book was a further disappointment as it was a catalog, just listing number of prints, how signed etc. No information on the actual art. So this wasn't quite what I was hoping for, and mostly it looks like these were done quickly for commercial release and many of the models had the same look. Will continue to look for other works of Delvaux.
