The Art of John Berkey

by Jane Frank

Jane Frank examines all aspects of Berkey’s work, with more than 100 color illustrations drawn from all periods of his career-including personal illustrations painted for his own artistic satisfaction. Berkey himself contributes an autobiographical introduction. “His wonderfully facile style is the perfect balance between painterly impressionism and hard-edged realism.”—Vincent Di Fate, Infinite Worlds.

John Berkey is in my top ten of favorite artists. His work amazes me. What I enjoyed most about this book is that it showed both the science fiction space art I was familiar with and also the landscapes and illustrations he did as a commercial artist before becoming a sci-fi icon. There wasn't a ton of text, but enough to give a glimpse into Berkey's life. A great coffee table book for any Berkey fan.
