| Publisher Description: Mermaids & Sea Monsters: Oil Paintings and Works of Michael D. Koch This book is a catalog of the paintings and other works by Michael D. Koch focusing on mermaids, ocean fantasy and the fantastic creatures of the sea. To tackle this subject, Koch called upon his long-standing interest in Greek mythology, his fascination with fantasy and science fiction, his love of comics as well as growing up in New England. Like unicorns, mermaids seem to have this odd yet warm affection in the public imagination. The painter regards this painting series and the Mermaid itself as a poetic subject that transforms the subject of the sea into one of legend and lore with its fantastic and spectacular creatures and oceanic beauty . |
