Description
This stunning collector's edition includes the original John Derian Picture Book and the equally gorgeous John Derian Picture Book II. Packaged in a beautiful slipcase, this is the ultimate gift for fans of the beloved artist and home goods designer.
Since the publication of his bestselling book, John Derian Picture Book, in 2016, John Derian has expanded his already far-reaching home goods empire with a line of puzzles and stationery and renewed collaborations with global brands like Target. His products have continued to garner worldwide recognition, while his collection of timeless, vintage art keeps growing.
Now, seven years after his debut book, Derian returns with a second installment, John Derian Picture Book 2. An assortment of 375 full-bleed images in their original form, John Derian Picture Book 2 continues the celebration of the best of his world, from intensely colored flowers and birds to curious portraits, hand-drawn letters, and breathtaking landscapes.
The result is an oversized object of desire, a work of art in and of itself that brilliantly walks the line between commerce and art, and that is destined to become the gift book of the season.
