Hugo-winner Ed "Emsh" Emshwiller (1925–1990), best known for his covers for the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and Galaxy, was one of the most popular SF artists of his day. In this heavily illustrated and meticulously researched survey, Ortiz (Arts Unknown: The Life & Art of Lee Brown Coye) hits the high points of his subject's career, commenting knowledgeably on such topics as the influence of the surreal artists Dalí and Tanguy on Emsh's work. Filmmaker Stanley Kubrick held Emsh in such high regard he sought his input for 2001: A Space Odyssey. When Emsh finally put away his brushes and devoted himself to his pet project of abstract stop-motion films, Ortiz makes the cinema terminology accessible to the lay reader. The author also traces the development of Ed's wife, Carol, from an uncertain mother of three to a successful writer of SF.
