Over all these years I have found that NO color reproductions of Shag paintings, be it personal photos, magazine images, or even the ones in his art books (I have not yet seen his most recent), do justice to the glowing color saturation of the originals. The best way to appreciate them is in person, it's a whole different level of eye candy.

I agree..up close and personal is the best way to view these...oddly enough, robert williams paintings look awesome in print, but they're a mess upon closer examination. don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of uncle bob's work, but it shows to go ya the difference between the original and a reproduction of works in print. As for shag, I actually have an original painting of his from years ago..it was never shown in public or seen in print..i'll try to post it here when I can...
