Title: Disappointing
Review: After seeing the magnificent work of Bocklin on the internet, I was looking forward to this book, but.......it doesn't have what I think is his best work, "Pan Among The Reeds", or "Nymphs Bathing", or "Sanctuary Of Hercules", or.......etc!! The reproduction of "Sacred Wood", surely one of his best works, is so tiny I wonder why they (the people who made the book) even bothered to include it. On the other hand, "Isle Of The Dead" is given far too much space. It's not that I don't like the picture, but 3 reproductions of the same version, and 4 blowups of sections of same, is overdoing it. The latter might have been a good idea if the printing was of better quality.What works are included in this book dismally fail to take you into the fantastic world that Bocklin created. I can appreciate that this book was made to a price standard, but the omission of so many (in my opinion) major works is unforgivable. To all Bocklin fans: don't bother with this one unless you're desperate.
Is the review positive or negative?
