Others are given their own page, but mysteriously and annoyingly take up less than half the space. There are some beautiful full page presentations of her graphics, but not nearly enough. In fact the general quality of the book - i.e., paper, binding, color reproduction - is very good, but the design choices are erratic, and do not do justice to Karasz's work. I was very disappointed in it. Review: Gratitude for the effort and result - I am thrilled to see an acknowledgment of Mme. Karasz' creative contributions in book form. When she was eighty-two (she was still teaching and working), I spent two years in two-month increments with her, using her design system. (I think there's another book to be written about the "language of design" and the way she "saw" and her masterful way of working with students.) After long periods(sometimes 12-16 hours)of quiet, intensive work together, we had toasts of a grand Hungarian sherry she always brought with her from New York. If I had a bottle of whatever it was, I would toast you for this book. C.

Others are given their own page, but mysteriously and annoyingly take up less than half the space. There are some beautiful full page presentations of her graphics, but not nearly enough. In fact the general quality of the book - i.e., paper, binding, color reproduction - is very good, but the design choices are erratic, and do not do justice to Karasz's work. I was very disappointed in it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gratitude for the effort and result *by C***Z on October 27, 2008* I am thrilled to see an acknowledgment of Mme. Karasz' creative contributions in book form. When she was eighty-two (she was still teaching and working), I spent two years in two-month increments with her, using her design system.

Harrison (San Rafael, CA) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An artist in many fields *by B***T on August 20, 2008* This book tells an abbreviated story of Ilonka Karasz Nyland's full and interesting life. It also shows examples of her design and fine art and craft work. In a time when fashions and styles change yearly, or more often, it's good to have a chance to savor the work of an artist for whom ancient principles and modern creativity went hand in hand. For example, in a quotation from an interview (cited on page 128) she defines inspiration as "a moment of contact with another reality, the moment when everything at once falls into its proper place; when, as it were, the entire structure appears, and every part is seen to be related to the whole." And she then refers to the Neolithic cave paintings and the eight-century temple paintings of Java. Ms. Callahan has indeed performed a good deed in bringing this book to life. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/106603620-enchanting-modern-ilonka-karasz-1896-1981](https://www.desertcart.is/products/106603620-enchanting-modern-ilonka-karasz-1896-1981) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
