Customer Reviews

Bart Forbes, Artist

Bart Forbes can draw and paint like no other. He has uncanny abilities and an innate sense of design and composition. He not only illustrates about sports but can draw and paint everything. A modern-day master.

Classic Bart Forbes

This is a great book for both art lovers and sports fans. Bart is an incredible artist and an even nicer human being. His has a great talent for realistic images that capture the essence of a moment. The work in this book has been featured at the Seoul Olympics, on stamps and in Sports Illustrated. His golf images are legendary. Many people consider him a modern day Norman Rockwell. I love his great images of old-time baseball playes: Christy Mathewson, Rube Waddell etc. I'm just waiting for a book of his paintings of musicians. I would highly recommend that everyone buy a copy of this book.

Great book for any sports lover

I bought this book for my husband for Christmas and he hasn't put it down. Any one who loves sports will love this beautiful book of sports art.

For the person who appreciates the color of sports

This book not only shows the artist of Mr.Forbes but it is a walk through the heros of every sports during the last 30 years. You will immediately recognize the players (my grandchildern did) or the sport being profiled in a way that captures the grace of the participants and the color of the arena. Mr.Forbes gives his comments along side many of the pieces so you have more than just a picture but some insight into why this picture was created. We have the book sitting on an end table so all of our visitors can browse through it. There hasn't been anyone yet that stopped short of reviewing the entire book, it captures your interest and it lets you sense the grace of the men and women who compete and/or who excel. You will love the color and you will marvel at the art.
