Reviews of Tony's Latest Book Tony Angell: Puget Sound Through an Artist's Eye "If this were a 'mere' coffee-table book showcasing Angell's birds, it would still be magnificent. But it is, first, a celebration of the Sound . . . and second, an inquiry into the artist s craft. There may be more visual artists who can write than writers who can paint or draw, but Angell is exceptional both as an observer of nature and at his own mind and hands work." ---Living Bird "If you've lived here for any length of time, you ve seen an Angell sculpture: in a public place, an art gallery or a private home. Puget Sound Through an Artist s Eye chronicles 40 years of the Seattle-area artist s sculptures and paintings of the birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and undersea life of our region. It s a summing up to date of Angell s career and a testament to the tenacity and inventiveness he draws on to pursue his quarry. And it s a cri de coeur for a halt to the degradation of one of the most beautiful and fecund places on Earth. As with the best coffee-table books, you can read the narrative straight through, or stop and linger over Angell s marvelous way with marble and chlorite, limestone and serpentine. This is a keepsake book -- a testament to an artist s passion for his work and for Puget Sound, his home and his muse." ---Seattle Times |
