Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-23 00:00:00 Lee Pitts This book features dozens of illustrations done by Robert Del Tredici for the book Moby Dick. It is a must for anyone who loves or even likes Moby Dick; and for the student stuck reading it for a class, perhaps these illustrations can provide a fresh perspective on what can be a challenging, seemingly unapproachable text. While the two short essays in this book provide some interesting viewpoints on the art, the real joy of this book is the beautiful pen-and-ink and screenprint illustrations that are featured. Rather than focusing on the external narrative of Moby Dick, Del Tredici chose to illustrate the book's more philosophical moments and, in fact, incorporated the text into his art. At times comical, at times startling, his art has an impressive vitality to it that suits his subject matter well.
