Tooker's realism is the realism of mystery."--Time This book contains over 150 paintings of George Tooker.

More About George Tooker
The art of George Tooker has always amazed me. A master of egg tempera painting, he used its matte finish to create paintings that seemed to glow from within. As he became a leading artist of Magic Realism, Tooker's work also grew more mature and almost luminescent. This wonderful book has the masterworks and the sketches, but it is... This book is really all about Mr. Tooker's amazing paintings, so a review of the writing in the book is a bit pointless. Visual. Mesmerizing painter.
