Review: Beautiful book, well researched - I attended the recent show at the New York Historical Society showing Leyendecker's work. It was small, but well worth seeing. In advance, I wanted to learn more about the artist, and this book does an amazing job. Although Leyendecker let a rather reclusive life and didn't leave much for biographers to comb through, the authors of this book found just about every item about his family, life and work as an artist. They give a really full picture of the man, how he become a first rate illustrator, and was a the forefront of many new trends. First, the quality of the book itself is high. The colors are saturated and the images are well printed to see detail. Second, text is well written and balanced. Third, I really learned a lot about the graphic arts industry during his lifetime, how it changed it, how important it was to American life, and how the medium changed forever. It was a real eye-opener. The actual images are beyond gorgeous. The drawn men are what every man wants to be -- handsome, virile, and a consummate gentleman. The details of the images are jaw dropping in their virtuosity, and you wonder how any human could draw so convincingly.
Review: Beautifully Done ,A fitting Tribute to a Legend! - After reading so many negative reviews I have to say I expected to receive a sloppy, handwritten mess of a book..I am happy to say that is DEFINITELY NOT THE CASE! The illustrations are wonderful and the research that had to be done to compile this magnificent tribute was well beyond my expectations. I have to wonder, as I was scouring the book , what in the world was so wrong with the writing. Each section was thoughtfully worded and many details were fascinating and I am certain to be fact. I guess I am not that well versed on what a writers skill or wording SHOULD be but I must say I was thrilled to learn more about many of the details of "Joe's" life so long now private. I found myself overjoyed and many of the images I had never seen which was even more exciting! I was even more elated that they seem to start at the beginning and follow to the end of his career. In my eyes, it is all perfection. Again, I am only speaking as a Leyendecker fan, not as some prolific writer or art critic. Seems to me that if you want a beautiful reference book on his many beautiful works and at least want to have some insight on the man behind the masterpieces, this would be a wonderful choice for you. I am sure they may be some details that may not be 100% accurate but I do not get the feeling that the author believes that each detail is fact, as there were so many private moments throughout Layendeckers life. If you are looking for a book to enjoy and to share with others , this is a great read. Thanks to all of those who were a part of the making.! I feel a little closer to the legend than I ever have...! I am ordering a few more for gifts! Just the time to gather all of these beautiful works of art is well worth the price!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best book on Leyendecker so far.
*by J***N on December 5, 2008*

This book is definitely worth it if only for the quality of the illustrations. Some people in these reviews point out some inaccuracies in the text regarding either the authenticity of some paintings, some details about Leyendecker's life and that of his contemporaries and some interpretations regarding his real influence on the American psyche. A lot of people seem to take issue with the central role the authors give to Leyendecker's life-long relationship with Charles Beach and with his sexual orientation in general as if it permeated everything he did. If anything, I wish the text had had a little bit more information on the actual techniques and methods of creation. Some hints are given but it would have been nice to find out about the actual studio and his materials. Also, it would have been of great help to determine where the paintings are located today. May be even more interesting than describing the fate of Mount Tom's. Leyendecker's residence. Despite this voids, the artwork of J.C. Leyendecker is so splendid that a book like this, that has achieved the best reproductions to date in this sort of tome, must be at the top of my list. And some of the author's interpretations are their own to have, I certainly agree that homoeroticism permeates a big part of the artwork and that Leyendecker helped settled many of the archetypes we see as American today. I do not take issue with that and I think the authors have a right to a certain point of view even when they do not have the right to add extraneous details, specially with no documentation.
