Review # 1 was written on 2013-09-13 00:00:00 Thomas Williams An insightful exploration of Grant Wood's life and art. Illustrations are sparse and somewhat redundant. Analysis of his techniques and artistic influences is not the focus here; it is a good and thorough survey of Grant Wood's biography and work.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-08-04 00:00:00 James Guttschall In the 1980s Paper magazine was published in New York City and was at the vanguard of the wild craziness of an exploding fashion scene. Even though I didn't live in NY, I usually bought a new copy of Paper when I saw it on a newsstand. The magazine felt both extravagantly hip and a little sleazy. This book is a retrospective of Paper's best work, especially its thought-provoking fashion photography. Kim Hastreiter and David Hershkovitz pushed fashion in new directions through Paper, beyond the Valley of the Vogue and into the reality of the streets.
