Collection of nude drawings and paintings by 60+ artists such as Botticelli, Cezanne, Gauguin, Goya, Kahlo, Klimt, Picasso, Renoir. The book is second hand and there might be signs of usage. I will make a cover for every title in this series, as I find the original books. It is a beautiful book for your coffee table.
The book is a soft cover which I recycle and transform into a limited edition, personalized hardback with leather cover, designed and made by me. First, I prepare the book by embedding cotton cords into the spine. Adding 2 mm wood boards to the front and back. And reinforcing everything with cloth. To make the cover I use grade A, naturally tanned hide, I buy from a tannery in north Spain. It is the same leather Louis Vuitton uses to make his bags, so it is top quality. I do all the processing of the leather myself. First, I design the cover, and what I did here, for the front, and back, I used paintings of the nude ladies done by famous impressionist artist. Next, I mix leather inks and screen them on the surface of the leather. The inks are partly absorbed by the skin to create a permanent bond. Finally, I coat the leather with protective solution. The leather gives the image a vintage look and beautiful texture, and it will age nicely with time. Inside the front cover. I can print a personal message or a quote from the book.
The book is beautiful. Visually it has a very nice texture, it smells great, and the more you handle it the more beautiful it will become. And it makes a great gift for yourself, or somebody who appreciates books. So if you want one, don’t snooze, or you might lose.
