The National Parks Service Photographs
Εκδότης: ABBEVILLE PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0557-0043

Ansel Adams photographed America's national parks before the project was suspended due to World War II. In 1941, Ansel Adams photographed America's national parks for a series of murals that would celebrate the country's natural heritage. Because of the escalation of World War II, the project was suspended after less than a year, but not before Adams had produced these images, which illustrate both his early innovations and the shape of his later, legendary career as America's foremost landscape photographer. The invitation to photograph ...

(P/B) PICTURES OF THE FLOATING WORLD
AN INTRODUCTION TO JAPANESE PRINTS
Εκδότης: ABBEVILLE PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0557-0038

In Edo Japan, woodblock prints known as ukiyo-e ("pictures of the Floating World") captured the entertainment culture of the urban elite and eventually many other subjects as well. These beautiful prints were the result of a meticulous craft process, in which an artist's initial drawing was translated by expert carvers into multiple printing blocks for different colors. In this attractive volume, Sarah E. Thompson, curator of Japanese art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, provides a highly readable overview of the cultural and artistic h...

(Η/Β) PAINTING THE DREAM
FROM THE BIBLICAL DREAM TO SURREALISM
Εκδότης: ABBEVILLE PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0557-0024

The first-ever history of the representation of dreams in Western painting, illustrated with works by more than 130 artists. Organized by period, from the Middle Ages to the present, this engaging book shows how the idea of the dream, and its depictions, have shifted throughout history, from the biblical dream-a communication from God-to the deeply personal dream, the lighthearted fantasy, the nightmare. Sometimes these ideas have existed simultaneously: thus we have, only a few years apart, Raphael's limpid High Renaissance composition of...

Human-Animal Hybrids in Myth and Art

Εκδότης: ABBEVILLE PRESS

(H/B) FAITHFULL FRIENDS
NORMAL ROCKWELL AND HIS DOGS
Εκδότης: ABBEVILLE PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0557-0039

A delightful gift book celebrating the important role of man's best friend in the life and work of America's greatest illustrator From the very beginning of Norman Rockwell's career, dogs were integral to his art. Often they convey the emotion of a scene, as when a family pet bounds forward to greet a soldier returning from war, or sadly nuzzles a young man departing for college. Rockwell had a special affinity with his canine models, who were sometimes his own dogs: Raleigh the German shepherd, Butch the springer spaniel, and Pitter the b...

MYKONOS
PORTRAIT OF A VANISHED ERA
Εκδότης: ABBEVILLE PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0557-0022

There are hundreds of Greek islands. Why did Mykonos become, in just a few decades, one of the leading vacation destinations in the world, hosting up to 140,000 visitors on a typical summer day? Part of the answer can be found in these remarkable images, which show the unspoiled beauty - of both the place and its people - that initially attracted artists, writers, and celebrities. Among those early pilgrims was the photographer Robert McCabe. When he first came to Mykonos in the summer of 1955, he was one of perhaps fifteen visitors on the...

SANTORINI
PORTRAIT OF A VANISHEAD ERA
Εκδότης: ABBEVILLE PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0557-0030

Today Santorini is visited by some 2.5 million people every year. They are drawn by the spectacular beauty of this island, whose ringed inner coast, with its sheer cliffs, was formed by the collapse of an immense volcano. Though tourism is Santorini's main industry now, for centuries the island was home to a distinctive farming and seafaring culture that had mastered the art of survival under the most adverse conditions. This bygone culture -and the rugged landscape that sustained it- come back to life in the photographs of Robert A. McCab...

(H/B) WATERCOLOR
A HISTORY
Εκδότης: ABBEVILLE PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0557-0031

The term watercolor calls to mind atmosphere, luminosity, and immediacy―qualities that derive directly from the quick-drying, translucent nature of water-based pigments. In Watercolor: A History, Louvre curator Marie-Pierre Sale provides an authoritative and beautifully illustrated account of this versatile and widely beloved artistic medium. Sale's incisive text traces the development of watercolor from the thirteenth to the twentieth century in Europe and the United States, encompassing every type of work―from plein-air sketches to finis...

AMERICA'S MASTER ARCHITECT
Εκδότης: ABBEVILLE PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0557-0026

A comprehensive and affordable view of the master architect's entire oeuvre, including private residences, public buildings, furnishings, and decorative pieces. Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is unquestionably America's most celebrated architect. Even today, almost forty years after his death, he continues to tower over the architectural landscape. In fact, his career was so long and his accomplishments so varied it can be difficult still to grasp the full range of Wright's achievement. In this refreshing new study, Wright scholar Kathryn ...
