This is a nice book. Multiple artists, full page art, not broken up with a lot of writing, just the name of the artist, where it was done, etc. I like it. If you’re into street art, you may want to check it out. Banksy’s work has been seen in many books, and it’s shown in these pages, but this is not a book on Banksy, per se. It’s on street art.
This is one of the books I bought at the used bookstore, today. The photographs are great and there’s a bit of history on each page. The pictures are a page and a half in size, so it’s perfect. Like its name, it’s a cool book. That’s The Bean on the cover. Real name is Sky Gate, but we call it, The Bean.
Here’s the thing. Having lived in Chicago my entire life, which is a very long time, well, not before they had streets, or anything, but a long time, nonetheless, and there are some places, in the book, I never knew existed…bars, etc., (different part of the city).
I never claimed to know anything about the city I love, and I REALLY love Chicago. I mean I can’t tell you the names of all the buildings, their history, or much at all. Those things never mattered. I have books on the skyscrapers, their names, who designed them, built them, etc., but I don’t read them. I want to know, I just can’t get myself to care.
Anyway, I’ve been to a lot of the places in the book, and at least seen some of the others. I hung out at some of them, when I was young.
The photographs of city lit up at night are breathtaking. Chicago is gorgeous. I admit I’m prejudice, but it’s still true. She’s beautiful. She sparkles.
I loved this short, small, right to the point, book. It’s written with a sense of humor and tells you everything you might want to know about Black Holes. No filler. The last few pages, for me, were fabulous.
I also read, HOW TH UNIVERSE GOT ITS SPOTS, by Levin, and that was also an excellent book.
You can get it on Amazon or Hoopla for free. Women need to listen to, or read this book.
I read it when it came out. When I was finished, I redid the book. I was so furious, knowing that what she said could easily become the norm, that I had to do something.
This is what it looks like from the side. Here are a few pages…I’ll put more on later, I don’t want to overwhelm anyone.
I’ll put more on later, but don’t doubt, even for a second, that they could be passing out red capes in no time at all. All they have to do is write a new law. The men in charge can do anything they choose to do…and who is going to stop them?
