From a renowned graphic artist,a delicious, dazzling, and utterly singular tribute to the last legal and socially acceptable drug—coffee! Roasted and ground coffee beans infused in hot water have been fueling people's lives—and dreams—tor thousands of years the world over. Now, Cafe Fetish collects nearly one hundred works by leading Czech graphic artist Jin Sliva, who depicts the universal infatuation with coffee in extraordinary ways. Drawing inspiration from the aesthetics, rituals, and pleasures of Central European cafe culture, Sliva marshals his unique visual poetry into the service of his beloved brew, from the myth of Sisyphus to a game of golf, from a portrait of Einstein to camels at an oasis, from dogs out for a walk to lovers in bed. Cafe Fetish includes reproductions of Sliva s oil paintings, lithographs, etchings, line drawings, and cartoons—in all a marvelous portrayal of the addictive pleasures of a cup of joe as we have never imagined them before.
