Summary: A Museum Piece
Review: I first spied this book at the Brooklyn Museum, but I hesitated to buy it. After much pondering, I leapt and haven't regretted jumping in. Lenore Tawney is a marvelous artist, and these personal postcards are an exceptional form of communication. Each is an affirmation of Ms. Tawney's artistic talent and a tribute to the friendships she created on her personal path. I shall treasure this book.

Summary: Inspiring me to take up collage
Review: I got this book last week and have just now ordered a couple of "how to" collage books from this website. I love the idea behind Lenore Tawney's postcards - tiny, personal offerings to friends and family from a real talent. I think this book shows what is achievable on a small piece of card with a lot of imagination.
The only reason I don't give it five stars is because I would have liked to see more narrative - some commentary on each of the collages would have been a welcome insight and only added to what is an inspiring book.

Summary: Lenore Tawney in Miniature
Review: This is a wonderful collection of Lenore Tawney's postcard collages. For artists of assemblage, mixed media collage, or digitally generated images it presents Tawney's intimate, poetic, elegant approach to artmaking. Good for inspiration or technical purposes.
