A
NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER AND ARTIST
4 Peaks Press was founded in 2007 to produce art
books of exceptional quality for book and art lovers alike. Our
dedication is to work directly with the individual artists to
create books that faithfully reflect their work in all aspects
of production. We are delighted to present our most recent book,
Icons and Muses, showcasing the art of Tomás Lasansky. Icons and
Muses chronicles nearly four decades of prints, drawings, and
paintings by the Iowa artist.
A collector of fine art books himself, Lasansky draws
inspiration from his extensive library, and the result is a
collector’s edition that is a work of art itself. Encased within
a high-end, natural fiber, black cloth clamshell box, the
Collector’s Edition, of 300 books, is hand-signed and numbered
by the artist, and includes four original intaglio prints
created for this volume. Lasansky selected the GardaPat Klassika,
200 gsm paper for its extraordinary weight, matte coated finish,
and its ability to authentically reproduce his color. In
addition to the 285 beautifully realized color plates, the book
also includes first-hand accounts of the artist’s life and his
creative evolution; an academic essay placing his work into a
historical context; a selected chronology/collections/
exhibition history, and a catalogue raisonné of published
prints.
