内容説明
This work provides an illustrated interpretation of Herman Melville's ""Moby-Dick"". While filling our eyes with archetypal visions of whales, ships and ocean deeps, Robert Del Tredici also dazzles us with shimmering pyrotechnics of narrator Ishmael's mind. His large-format colour silkscreens and pen-and-ink illustrations let us see Melville's masterpiece as if for the first time. This postmodern take on the great American novel boldly returns readers to the book's roots as a trancendental vision of man and nature. This work also includes incisive commentaries by noted Meville scholars Elizabeth Schultz, Robert Wallace and Jill Gidmark. They discuss the influence of Del Tredici's images on students and scholars; the relationship of his work to other ""Moby-Dick"" illustrators; and the technical and aestetic aspects of the silkscreen process.
