2 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Not enough pics; too much textBy Ellen MuellerAs the other reviewer mentioned; this is NOT a picture book. It is pretty much a book of essays with occasional small images of Walkers work sprinkled in.2 of 5 people found the following review helpful. not enought photos of her art workBy Virginia BauerI would rather have had a book with photos of her art work rather than this rather wordy book; So I was disappointed.1 of 9 people found the following review helpful. DisturbingBy violetcherryExamining her works is worthwhile; but it must be done in conjunction with the work of other artists and scholars; I think. Her works use very provocative imagery completely out of context and what ends up happening is the most base; stereotypical thinking. Kind of like if you were asked to limit your vocabulary to racial slurs; Walkers work asks you to limit your interpretation of art to the silhouettes textured hair and men with whips. The result is very unpleasant.
