Brilliant humour and collage

Barry does daring collages that may shock (thank God!) and humour. He has a refreshing approach and long may his career live! Thanks Barry!

Fantastic

I've read the book and enjoy Barry's work, I've even invested in a few. But, I agree art shouldn't always be serious!!!!

i laughed myself silly!

I've loaned this book to at lest 5 people; they all want their own copies now. Mr, Kite has a knack for juxtaposng totally inconsistent images that makes complete and hysterically funny sense.

i laughed myself silly!

If you have ever spent time in a museum, wondering why everyone is so serious (and not enjoying themselves at all), this book is for you. Context is everything;when you see the juxtapositions, they make perfect sense. "Clumsy Nude" alone is worth the price of the book.

The wit and wisdom of Barry Kite.

Alan Bisbort gives us a launching pad to help understand and appreciate the amazing work of photo-collage artist extraordinaire, Barry Kite. It's quite obvious that Mr. Kite is more interested in letting the art do the talking but sometimes one needs a little help to realize that these are not just silly pictures but that they have provocative, and sometimes, truly philisophical meaning.
