The Illustrated Woman

Meer over het boek

A spectacular, (10.5x13") book of superb color portraits of women and their tattoos by DeMichele printed by Palace Press in Singapore. A unique book giving us a sight of some remarkable art rendered on a tough medium without, however, an insight into the lives, motivations, thinking of the decorated women pictured. Tattoos range from (few) paint-by-numbers clichTs to (mostly) very imaginative, dramatic, even aesthetic work. It will not languish uncirculated in any library. A paper edition (unseen) was released in fall 1993 at $35. Published by Proteus Press, 40 Broadway, Albany, NY 12202. Distributed by Publishers Group West. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
