    Więcej o książce

    Talk about artistic license Start with twenty-two museum-quality portraits, from an Egyptian pharaoh to a Durer nude. Cut each into quarters -- head, torso, legs, and feet. Mount on stiff cardboard stock, add a spiral binding, and voila -- you've got Drawn & Quartered, a loopy and wonderfully interactive spoof on Western art history. Flip the slices, and who knows what strange and preposterous creature will emerge -- the head of a medieval Christian maiden attached to the body of an Elizabeth dandy standing on Toulouse-Lautrec legs with Italian Renaissance feet is just one of the 234,256 possibilities And there's more. On the back of each slice are phrases that combine into comical non sequiturs that perfectly complement the facing illustrations. For anyone who loves art and has a sense of humor, Drawn & Quartered is the perfect gift.
