Biomannerism

Summary: Wild art
Review: This Japanese publication collects several artists in the erotomechanical genre as typified by the works of H.R. Giger. I came across this volume in my perpetual quest for works of Zdislaw Beksinski. Included in this book is a print of his I had previuosly seen in an out-of-print French publication that I have been unable to find. The quality of this publication is generally excellent, however one Beksinski piece had been blanched for some reason. The amusing translations of the bios make for short reading, but the book is really about the art itself. A word of warning: the images in this book are not for the easily disturbed. They are sexual, violent, surreal, and highly imaginative.
