This is the third catalogue raisonné of Daniel Merriam’s art. The 276-page 12 x 12.5” hardcover coffee table book is lavishly illustrated with over 250 images. Curated and color managed by master book smith Marcel Salome, this visually arresting volume is not only the largest but the most detailed close up look at Merriam’s art printed to date. The book explores the vivid imagination and depth of compositional layers Merriam has become so well known for. The introduction, written by accomplished author Elizabeth Lunday, gives luminous insights into the recent history of Imaginary Realism in the shadow of modern art. The text, written by Merriam himself, reveals a view from inside the artist’s world and the philosophy that infuses his art. This superb book is an essential addition to any art book collection.
