The Immortals, An Art Collection of Baseball's Best Review
For the serious baseball memorabilia collector, The Immortals is a stunning history of baseball through the lives of members of the Baseball Hall of Fame. It is a retrospective of baseball art by sports artist Dick Perez, official artist of the Baseball Hall of Fame for over 25 years, and was the creative force for the Perez-Steele Hall of Fame Art Post Cards. His name has been attached to the Phillies, Donruss Diamond Kings, and the Topps Company. This large, beautiful limited edition book is bound in soft bonded leather, and contains over 1400 paintings, including all of the art from the famed Perez-Steele Art Post Cards, and the entire collection of the Donruss Diamond Kings. The images are carefully researched and depict the evolution of uniforms, equipment and ballparks. The beauty and ballet of the game leap from the pages with vivid realism. This extraordinary book contains player biographies, including lifetime statistics, and historical narratives of each of the baseball eras: Origins, Deadball, Golden Age, Depression, War and Postwar, Expansion, and Modern. It is an elaborate sports memorabilia treasure! Nationally acclaimed and recipient of a Casey Award nomination for best baseball book of the year!
Editorial Reviews:
Former Baseball Hall of Fame President Edward W. Stack: Perez crystallizes our love of (baseball) and does so by marrying his consummate craftsmanship with a visual point of view in which all the elements of subject, form, color and texture sire a freshness of image unique to this artist. - Sports Market Research
The book's art is created in a variety of media: oil, watercolor, acrylics, charcoal and pen and ink. No expense has been spared in the lavish design of this unprecedented undertaking: 12"x12", 560 pages, full color. Many frame-worthy full page illustrations and a number of double-page spreads.
