About This Item
London: Harpercollins. Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket. 2011. First Edition; First Impression. Original boards. 0007437986 . With b/w & coloured frontispiece, plates & illustrations. Dustjacket (price-clipped) in plastic protective jacket. Gift inscription on front free endpaper. Light wear to spine, covers, corners & dustjacket. ; "A Tolkien Tapestry: Pictures to Accompany The Lord of the Rings" is a visually stunning collection of illustrations by Cor Blok, inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien's epic fantasy series. This unique book offers readers an artistic interpretation of the richly imagined world of Middle-earth, providing a fresh perspective on the beloved characters and landscapes described in Tolkien's novels. Cor Blok, a Dutch artist, encountered Tolkien's work in the early 1960s and was so moved by the depth and detail of the narrative that he created over 100 paintings based on the trilogy. His distinctive style, characterized by abstract and minimalist influences, captures the essence and mood of Tolkien's work rather than attempting to mirror the precise descriptions or realism typically associated with fantasy illustrations. Each piece is accompanied by a caption extracted from the novel, linking the artwork directly to the text and emphasizing Blok's interpretative approach to the material. Tolkien met Blok in 1961 and purchased two of his paintings, a testament to the author's appreciation of Blok's artistic vision. "A Tolkien Tapestry" serves as both a tribute to and a reimagining of Tolkien's Middle-earth, making it a must-have for fans of the series and art enthusiasts alike. ; Quarto; 160 pages .
