Description
The long-awaited new book--with gorgeous, all-new art--by Brian Froud, the "grandfather of faerie art"
In this compelling collection, acclaimed women writers from around the world share words and stories of fantasy and myth alongside Brian Froud's provocative portraits of more than 70 Green Women. There are a range of voices, some humorous and witty, others nurturing and maternal, others dark and threatening.
New York Times bestselling and award-winning artist Brian Froud, who brought to life Trolls and Faeries, is also beloved for his conceptual design work with Jim Henson on the classic films The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. With Green Women, his gorgeous art illuminates an entirely new universe.
Open the pages of this gorgeous gift-ready book to meet the Green Women.
"While the Green Men peer down from their church roof bosses, and through their tendrils of oak and ivy, the Green Women move among us. Brian Froud has met more than a few of them. It's their eyes--deep wells of wisdom, stories and the slow, ancient song of the forest." --Alan Lee, artist and concept designer of the film adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit
"I have always been fascinated by the carvings of 'foliate heads' that peer out of the shadows of medieval churches and cathedrals, generally known as the Green Man, yet their origins, meaning, and purpose remain elusive. As I attempted to capture them on canvas, however, I became aware of a deeper mystery. There are so many Green Man figures, but where was the Green Woman? Why had she been relegated to the spiritual shadows? I started to paint again. Faces emerged from the darkness of the unknown: Green Women in multiple forms, all insisting that they should be seen and heard." --Brian Froud
