Primordial Pictures

«Primordial Pictures» opens a door to a world that was still very young. At that time, dinosaurs dominated both water and land. Modern humans encounter only their fossilized remains or distant relatives in the evolutionary chain and cannot even imagine a world filled with monsters from long-forgotten Earth legends. Many books have been written about ancient reptiles, and a huge number of artistic and documentary works have been produced, but «Primordial Pictures» makes us see the beauty of ancient epochs and reconsider humanity's place in the relentless passage of time. Stolenhag's previous graphic stories have been shortlisted for two of the largest literary awards: the British Arthur C. Clarke Award and the Locus Magazine award in the «ART BOOK» category, and The Guardian newspaper has called the Swedish artist's works some of the best dystopias of all time. But «Primordial Pictures» is a kind of tribute to science and the vivid childhood fascination with dinosaurs, which leaves an indelible mark on every person. The text of the art book was also worked on by the well-known Swedish journalist Anna Davor, who specializes in science popularization. Her personal goal is not only to tell the reader about life from a distant past but also to show how human ambition and courage can uncover secrets buried for millions of years on our planet. This is just the perfect gift for loved ones and friends!
