The Book of Blokes

By (artist) William Nicholson

| on special |

normal price: R 457.95

Price: R 411.95


| book description |

William Nicholson's most eccentric book, The Book of Blokes consists of 30 crayon drawings of men's faces, often with hats. There is no text, but the virtuosity of the drawing and the wit and economy with which Nicholson imbues each face with unmistakable personality, remain compelling after many readings. It was a favourite book of Nicholson's, who often gave copies to his friends. Originally published in 1929, this is the first time it has ever been reprinted. Published simultaneously with two other classic books of illustration by Nicholson, An Alphabet and The Square Book of Animals.
