ILLUS Illustrate ., hardcover, 32 pp., $23.93. Bob Raczka has chosen fourteen artists, including Durer, Rousseau, Goya, Close, and Sherman to help him raise questions about the many ways that artists present themselves to the world. Facing each full-page picture is a page of commentary describing the artist and the artifact A distortion in an image or sound caused by a limitation or malfunction in the hardware or software. Artifacts may or may not be easily detectable. Under intense inspection, one might find artifacts all the time, but a few pixels out of balance or a few milliseconds of abnormal sound . Providing an array of styles, the book reinforces an over arching truism: "Every artist has his or her own way of making a self-portrait ... there is no right or wrong way." Useful and attractive, the inviting text and handsomely reproduced pictures should appeal to a range of readers in middle school or younger. |
