This book is another favorite of mine as it focuses on the paintings going well into the late 90s. Odd has been one of the leaders of the figurative movement and representational painting. To see this work together in one collection is very nice.

Amazing artist. If you enjoy classical art with a darker flavor, read this. Mostly illustrated allegorical wonderland! Although if you know your Blake, Goya, Rembrandt, you won't be so shocked.
