HR Giger

Finally purchased this book I've wanted for some time.It has great illustrations, albeit dark, various images in each drawing. Quite an undertaking in details. Perfectaddition to other collections of artists books.

This book was bought as a gift for a fan of his art. It is great & contains information also.

Although I wasn't expecting an deep dive I felt a compulsion to keep reading and looking over the images in the book over and over. I love the art of Giger and the writing is quality. The print quality is pretty good. This book has a weird but nice plasticy feel to the paper. Though nothing bothersome just a note. Nothing substantial but something to burn a little time and ogle about if you're into art.

Great art

My first encounter of Giger's thought process, the Taschen book with the purple and black cover, was disappointing. Its images weren't comparable to his Alien designs. Spooky and not much else. This book has fewer artwork but what's included is explained well. The images are his usual bio-mechanoid sex and violence and death horrors. His telling of how he became him is very entertaining and funny. He starts out with seriousness like expressing how loving his parents were as a child, especially his mother. Then devolves in to a deadpan retelling of becoming over sexed before he learned to read. You can hear his voice in your head and the glee he's taking knowing people will be reading this stuff. Much of it satirizes the repressive society he lived in, especially religion and the human suffering it can inspired. He tells of the time a college friend showed him pictures of an execution that haunted him for days and as usual concludes with reluctantly accepting life's ironies. My photos show a series of images titled Passages. Everyone assumes they're photographs. Actually they're individual paintings showcasing his technical brilliance. His explanation of their mechanical origins and connecting sexual references keeps up with his obsessions: birth, death and as much sex as you can find in between.

Good price for book size. Repetitive if you have some of Giger’s bigger books. Great starting point for Giger collection

Fast sending and Great book, thank you.

I ordered the book and it is amazing, despite getting a shipping snafu and the seller kept in touch through the whole process.

La calidad del material, las imágenes y el texto son muy buenos, buena elección

I like his style and this book gives both info as well as a visual treat.

Fue un regalo y gustó muchísimo

Il libro è ottimo. In un formato adeguato per apprezzare le opere di Giger, ad un prezzo contenuto, e un testo che chiarifica le varie fasi del lavoro dell'artista. Assolutamente consigliato come prima opera per incontrare l'arte di Giger.

I bought this book a few years back and always had an anxiety that i dont want to loose it or something, so i ordered it again and i would say, still worth it.
