His art is marked by versatility, a sculpted sense of form, and often dazzling technical finesse. Gathered in this collection is some of the best work, much of it unpublished. Each piece makes a gateway to an unreal but curiously human realm, a dreaming life that catches us in its eye. Cover price $9.95.
