Warrant “It is time to embrace: the painted book, the unique book, the comic book, the graphic novel, the digital book, the book performance, the hybrid book, the library project, and the zine, as necessary components of a mature field of study and production.”

Painted books are a very good example of the unique, often almost sculpture like artists' books, created mostly by painters or artists who do not print. Their strength lies in the immediate and direct exploration of different materials. Often they do not contain words and therefore they become free of the limits of classical bookmaking. They are offering us the revolutionary effect of extending the poetry into a journey of light, texture, rhythm and smells. In Finland Senja Vellonen has created a number of painted books.”

Current status [as of May 19, 2008]
Adding RT: Painted bindings (Binding Thesaurus) -- see workform
This term was tabled at Midwinter 2008 because it needed more research, additional warrant, and evidence to distinguish Painted Books from Hand-colored Books.
