The Brothers Quay "Black Drawings"

6/3/2018

0 Comments

 
...Stunning book I recently picked up, “The Black Drawings-Philadelphia Pennsylvania 1974-1977” by the Quay Brothers (edited by Edwin Carels and published by Tommy Simoens and Ludion). Essentially blueprints for the remarkable and incredibly unique imagery that would emerge throughout their filmmaking career, the drawings were created during the 1970s when the brothers were still working as illustrators. The drawings are very enigmatic...moody and beautiful, really showing the development of many of their obsessions and visual idiosyncrasies. In addition to the Black Drawings, there are also examples of their illustration work and a number of great photos and film stills. The design of this book is a knockout, really gorgeous. If you’re a die hard Quays fan like me, definitely grab this immediately before it becomes difficult to find.
