Artist and photographer Jenny Lynn is pleased to announce that her visual anthology, EyeBook: Sixty Artists. One Subject. was published by Damiani Editore, the well-known fine-art publisher, on October 27th, 2015. Damiani Editore is based in Bologna, Italy.
EyeBook, conceived and edited by Ms. Lynn, is a rich and compelling survey focusing upon the eye in art– a subject being addressed in book form for the first time. The book features sixty images by historic and contemporary artists, from the famous to the lesser-known. “As a visual artist, ” Ms. Lynn writes in the book’s introduction, “I have long been drawn to the mystery and beauty of the eye, and to its unique place as one of the most ancient and universal of symbols.”
Arranged chronologically, from the 1500s to the modern era, the book presents an arresting mix of painting, photography, drawing, sculpture and architecture. The book’s artists include Rene Magritte, Man Ray, Salvador Dali, Yayoi Kusama, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Andy Warhol. Quotes about vision, seeing, and the eye–by noted authors and thinkers, including William Blake, Marcel Proust, Edgar Allan Poe, Sylvia Plath, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Jack Kerouac–appear throughout. In addition, Billy Collins–the former Poet Laureate of the United States–provided a previously unpublished poem, “Pupil,” for use in the book. It appears as the book’s epigraph.
