The Art Of Walter Girotto
(2006 - SQP (Sal Quartuccio Publications)) 
 Note that ART FANTASTIX 9 seems to be the same book. Not appropriate for children or adolescents. This is 94 pages of Walter Girotto's paintings and some additional text providing, in English and German, a short biography, as well as some poetic commentary about a few specific works and his artistry in general. There are also two pages detailing the captions for the pieces, namely, title, creation year, size and medium. The only mis-step here would seem to be the six double-page spreads, only half of which place their subject so as not to be disrupted by the book's gutter. Only a couple of the pieces could be said to be "simply" pin-ups. Yes, you would lose count of the male & female nudes inside, but most are buried in the allegorical trappings throughout, while styles vary from photo-realism to mingling with the Pre-Raphaelites. Some of the people are too ecstatic and a couple of the depictions slip out of the realm of suggestive into that of adult themes, so the collection needs to be put away from children.
