The Soldier's View: The Civil War Art of Keith Rocco

Rating:
Summary: An outstanding collection of Civil War Art
Review: A must-have for any Civil War Buff! As one of the premier Civil War Artists of this generation, a mere compilation of Keith Rocco's work would be satisfying enough, but the accompanying text highlights the outstanding clarity and depth of his work. The concise but detailed explanations help the amateur historian more fully understand the context and background of each painting, while the introduction and interview with Mr. Rocco gives the reader insight into the artist's perspective and intent. As beautiful on display as it is to read, I highly recommend it!

Summary: A real keeper
Review: I've got to say, as a graphic artist and a history buff, this Rocco book sets really high marks. I'm impressed with almost everything about it. It has the feel of a book that is a real keeper, maybe even a kind of cult classic. I appreciate the "montage" effect of image and text -- it's a real tribute to Rocco as an artist that he can evoke so much emotional impact in his work.
