Donald M Grant Newsletter

 

Welcome to issue #107 of the Donald M. Grant Newsletter

4 October 2022

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ZDENEK BURIAN - CZECH ARTIST
2. PHIL HALE - ART BOOK - USE MUSIC TO KILL
3. THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE STILL AVAILABLE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. ADVENTUROUS WORLD OF ZDENĚK BURIAN
WONDERFUL WORLD OF ZDENĚK BURIAN
THE FORGOTTEN WORLD OF ZDENĚK BURIAN
THE PREHISTORIC WORLD OF ZDENĚK BURIAN

I was an admirer of the art of Zdenek Burian long before I traveled to Prague and
met him in 1975. Zdenek Burian is best known internationally for his paintings of
dinosaurs, extinct mammals and prehistoric man but his illustration work is only
known in the Czech Republic. These three massive, 9 1/2” x 13”, 414 page, 473
page and 508 page books reproduce, from the original art, mostly complete sets of
illustrations for books published by various
Czech publishers in the years 1921 to
the 1970’s.

Wonderful World of Zdeněk Burian contains over 400 illustrations for the 35
books by Jules Verne that Burian illustrated.


TARZAN - ILLUSTRATED BY ZDENĚK BURIAN

From 1969 – 1970 renowned Czech artist Zdeněk Burian illustrated three of Edgar
Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan novels – Tarzan of the Apes, The Return of Tarzan and
The Beasts of Tarzan. John Coleman Burroughs, son of Edgar Rice Burroughs and
an artist himself, was so impressed with the art that he arranged to buy most of the
originals from Mr. Burian.

Published originally in softcover these three novels are now available in 6 1/4” x
9 1/4” hardcover format with the total of all 50 full page gouache illustrations
reproduced on coated stock. In
addition there are 28 smaller spot illustrations.
Note - Text is in Czech, not English


The Mammoth Hunters (Lovci Mamutů) by Eduard Štorch

Full of amazing illustrations by Czech artist Zdeněk Burian who is internationally
known for his paintings of prehistoric life, The Mammoth Hunters is the story of a
tribe of primitive man living in ancient Central Europe. However, as the text is all
in Czech, you are most likely buying this book for the re-markable art.

This book includes 6 full page color plates and 52 pen & ink illustrations.


The prehistoric world of ZdenĚk Burian

This 578 page book is the first of a projected series to publish the prehistoric
paintings and drawings of Zdenek Burian. We have not yet ordered copies from
Prague, so if you would be interested in buying a copy please send us an email at

office@grantbooks.com with Burian as the subject so we can gauge interest.

2.  PHIL HALE - NEW ART BOOK - USE MUSIC TO KILL

Now available is a new Phil Hale art book - USE MUSIC TO KILL - which
showcases the last fifteen years of Phil Hale’s art.

USE MUSIC TO KILL is a collection of over two hundred paintings, pho-
tovarish, drawings and collages in Phil's distinctive style, from a career that
has spanned fine art, portraiture, illustration, fashion photography, film and
music. It is a full color 11” x 11”, 272 page hardcover book. Copies include a
glued in signature plate.

For Donald M. Grant, Phil illustrated THE DARK TOWER II: THE DRAW-
ING OF THE THREE and A MONSTER AT CHRISTMAS as well as three
books of art - GOAD, MOCKING BIRDS/RELAXEDER and LIFE WANTS TO 
LIVE - as well as the collaborative DOUBLE MEMORY: ART AND 
COLLABORATION with Rick Berry,


3. STEPHEN KING --THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE

Still available are the Artist Edition of THE WIND THROUGH THE KEY-
HOLE (signed by Jae Lee). Please note that this Artist Edition was released
prior to the Trade Edition and so is the First Edition of this book:


Thank you.
