| When I first glanced at the cover and title of this book, I flinched, thinking it seemed somehow exploitive. It's not. It is a truthful record, and a tremendous addition to the history of what happened. The "en plein air" watercolor technique is perfectly suited for capturing both the atmosphere and the built environment of Louisiana. As the author explains, it is not as best suited for long-distance views, but for views on the scale of a city block, it works very well. These paintings LOOK like New Orleans in a way that photographs often don't. They LOOK exactly like the wreckage looked to my eye when I came home from the evacuation. They are a solid documentary testimony and should be part of the historical record. The book also includes paintings from before the flood. This is a very worthwhile book. | | | | An impressively compelling and highly recommended visual journal Oct 6, 2007 |
| Now that we have just seen the second anniversary of one of America's worst natural disasters, "Painting Katrina", featuring the art of Phil Sandusky, is a fitting memorial and tribute to all those whose lives were forever impacted by the force of the hurricane. Sandusky's paintings fully capture in panoramic compositions the devastation of New Orleans and the overwhelming power of hurricane Katrina. Showcasing seventy-six Sandusky paintings (thirty created a year before Katrina, depicting New Orleans in better times; thirty in the immediate aftermath of the story; and the last sixteen painted approximately one year after Katrina), reveal what has been lost, and a city's slow, painstaking attempts to rebuilt. Highly recommended as much for the quality of the art and it's subject matter, "Painting Katrina" is an impressively compelling and highly recommended visual journal chronicling an artist's experience exploring and capturing the hurricane's devastation on a beloved American city. | | | Write your own review about Painting Katrina
