The most valueable and treasured book I own is My thick mint condition oversize' Ernst Fuchs ' Austrian surrealist artist book made in the late 1970's! 8 or so years ago I paid 169 dollars for it, ordering over the phone at the Strand bookstore in New York city. I have been shopping only once in the Strand bookstore when i went to New York city for the day in 2004! It's a great used bookshop in grenich village! What I love about Ernst Fuchs is not just his artwork as one of my favorite fantasy fine artists, but the fact that he had a Jewish Father, his mother was not Jewish and he had to go to a concentration camp during world war 2 as a little boy! He made lots of art about being Jewish, it was a big part of his life and identity! He was a contemporary and friends with Abdual Klarwien Mati another awesome 1960's surrealist psychadelic artistIn the late 1960's. In the late 1960's he became fixated with his perfect sexy little MUSE a strawberry blond girl who looks like Ewa Alin the actress from the movie Candy, or more kind of like an 18 year old cute blond girl version of the Disney Alice, from Alice in wonderland! I think his muse girlfriend was 18 or only 20 when he was in his 50's or so! I used to have a thing for a very attractive strawberry blond girl when I saw them or met them I would sometimes fall in love at first sight with strawberry blond girls if I really liked that particular girl from age 15 to age 22! When I was 15 and 20 I fell in love at first sight with 2 different strawberry blond girls! The one when i was 15 was from Encinitas my hometown and also my age, i saw her around town with her mom at restaraunts and stores while I was with my parents also! She was the most captivating and beautiful woman I have ever seen in my entire life to date! When I was in Art College up in Oakland I saw another loner type girl who I walked up to after seeing walking around college avenue by herself on the weekends all the time! I asked if I could draw her portrait for a picture, she told me she was considering it, but turned me down. She went to close by UC Berkeley which was walking distance to my school. I saw her walking around all the time, I was infatuated with her, I even saw her once on a friday at a UC Berkeley party in someones apartment. At the party when she passed me by to leave she flirted with me giving me the look! I realised after 20 seconds I should go outside to find her and talk to her again, but she was gone! I never got close to her or learned her name, at least I had tried to communicate with her! It can't hurt to try and you can't get everything you always want in life! Somethings just weren't meant to happen for me no matter how badly I lusted after someone! The hard part about the blond girl who was a student at berkeley is I often saw her around but had bad luck or just bad timing! Oh well! I used to think strawberry blond gilrs looked and acted a little differently up in the northern california bay area than they looked and acted in southern California. I could notice the difference! I'm not fixated with strawberry blond girls anymore like I was as a young man in Art College! That was the look liked best back then! Now I like all types of looks on all types of girls of different heights, hair colors, and ethnicities or races! My thing now is a big butt with a pretty face combination more than my old thing about preferring girls with strawberry blond hair! The best ass I ever saw was in berkeley where this 24 to 27 year old grad student white brunette amazonian hottie who was around 6 foot 2 feet tall. She was wearing a huge camping outdoors travel type backpack for school with a one piece skirt and thick clog high heels, she has a butt which I saw from 35 feet away where she looked liked she had 2 basketballs, one basketball size and shape for each cheek! Absolutely the best ass I have ever seen period and that was in 1998! She was crossing the street going into the McDonalds on Shattuck avenue at University cross streets I ended up just catching the bus at the bus stop on university avenue after going to the art house movies at the UC cinema, and caught the bus back home rather than going into the Mcdonalds to try to meet her, what a mistake, I never saw an ass that nice before that or since! Alot of hot women have 2 volleyballs for a butt, but very few I have ever seen are well proportioned strong, not fat, pretty, with good posture and have those 2 basketballs!
I own between 3,000 to 4,000 art books, thats a low estimate, it might be as high as 7,000 art and non-fiction books Archives
