Fantasy & Reality - The Book

Fantasy & Reality is a celebration of art and a tribute to the 50-year long career of Maltese sculptor Joseph Casha. Apart from its aesthetic and historical qualities, this book should be part of every art collector’s library as it has been published in a limited edition of 500, each copy individually numbered by the artist.

Comments 
 
“I really am impressed with what designers Ramon and Antoinette Micallef did with the book. It is by far the best local production I have come across… It is not only the container which is high in quality, but the work of Joseph Casha within is also most impressive and inspiring. An artist who combines fertile imagination with excellent execution”.

"It's beautiful. It's a masterpiece all around. Your work is excellent. It is a pleasure to go over the pages. Presentation leaves nothing to be desired. Text is fluent and readable. Photos and illustrations are extremely good. I shall contact you and meet to admire more your work and have the book signed."
