Rating:  Summary: Nechita proves painting is anything but dead. Incredible. Review: Alexandra Nechita gives hope to a new generation of painters, who fear that "it has all been done before." She provides a fresh, vibrant look at everyday life and emotion. I found her interpretations of Disney films particularly powerful, and in a wonderful way, poking fun at those who might believe this American institution to be a deadening factor on young people. Hurrah to Nechita, for proving that even the most mainline entertainment can provoke brilliant outpourings of creativity. ... I so badly wish I could afford one of her paintings! This book provides a gorgeous sample of her work.
Rating:  Summary: Very repetitive- and, let's face it... Review: Destined to become one of the greatest artists of the 21st century Alexandra Nechita amazed the world at an early age with her unique mix of a several modern artistic styles. Like many of the great abstract works by Picasso, Chagall, Klee, Matisse, and Miro her work captivates the story of life through the use of vibrant colors and the unique shapes. Even in just the last year you can trace the process of refinement and experimentation that has occurred in Nechita's work. "Outside the Lines" chronicles a large number of her paintings from 1995 through the use of photos and accompanying description, in her own words, of what Nechita was trying to accomplish with the work. Although my personal tastes align more with the types of work she has been producing in the last several years this book should be on any Nechita or cubist art fans bookshelf. Unfortunately there are currently no mass-published books that cover her more recent works. The only other book available is the one that purchasers of the lithograph pairs of the recent "My Journey" portfolios receive.

Rating:  Summary: For me, she's got it. Review: I like what I see. I could care less whether some art critic/teacher thinks her work is repetitive or not developing. I love the use of color and her inspirational themes, which I find lacking in the art world of today.

Rating:  Summary: Inspirations of a great artist Review: I love painting too, and this book is just the right inspiration for me. Nechita is simply great, her paintings are so profound and spectacular, it is almost hard to imagine that they come from a thirteen year-old girl. I think my paintings are a little like Nechita's. This book is certainly a good buy, and anyone with an artistic flair or anyone who is interested in art should get it. The remarks made by Nechita for each painting are all very meaningful and they all touches one's heart. It is interesting to admire Nechita's paintings, while reading the aside remarks for each of them. One would spend hours reading the book.

Rating:  Summary: it's good Review: Now this is how art should be done. I love that a 13 year old can do what famous artists think they can do just because hey are famous. She has as much, if not more talent than an artist educated in Paris.
