Description

Roasted & ground coffee beans infused in hot water have been fueling people’s lives -- & dreams -- for thousands of years the world over. This book collects 100 works by leading Czech artist Jiri Sliva, who depicts the universal infatuation with coffee. Sliva marshals his unique visual poetry into the service of his beloved brew, from the myth of Sisyphus to a game of golf, from a portrait of Einstein to camels at an oasis, from dogs out for a walk to lovers in bed. Includes reproductions of Sliva’s oil paintings, lithographs, etchings, line drawings, & cartoons. “A marvelous portrayal of the addictive pleasures of a cup of joe as we have never imagined them before. “A delicious & dazzling tribute to the last legal & socially acceptable drug -- coffee!”
