The Dutch artist Marcel van Eeden has done a drawing a day for more than a decade, since 1993 Each one interprets photographs or text from before he was born in 1965, source material he gathers through a network of vintage book dealers, archives and libraries His thousands of small-format works show people and places at once anachronistic and ready огивс to spring to life at any moment; they make the time before his birth seem present in front of the viewer's eyes, as though through the looking glass into a period film Van Eeden calls his life's work an "encyclopedia" of his death--he imagines a time before he existed in order to imagine a time after he is gone This collection of approximately 140 of his virtuosic drawings describes a fictitious biography for K M Wiegand, who, history verifies, was actually a botanist.  Michela2006 г Твердый переплет, 156 стр ISBN 3775717722.
