Review Visions Of Adventure: N.c. Wyeth And The Brandywine Artists / Diane Pub Co:As famous in their day as the authors whose stories they illustrated, the six artists profiled in this nostalgic collection-N. C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle, Harvey Dunn, Frank Schoonover, Philip R. Goodwin and Dean Cornwell-used their unique talents at narrative depiction to bring to life places and times in ways no modern medium has surpassed. Vividly reproduced directly from the original paintings that illustrated the pages of popular books and magazines of up to a century ago, many of the pictures are seen here for the first time, just as the artists painted them. The paintings presented in this handsome volume lured readers to the exciting adventure tales of buccaneers and cowboys, hunters and outlaws, pirate fiction and historical romance written by Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle, James Branch Cabell, and other favored writers of the day. Although commissioned to illustrate the written word, these storytelling works of art can stand alone. No text is needed to understand the drama of Howard Pyle's Dead Men Tell No Tales, N. C. Wyeth's The Magic Pool, Frank Schoonover's A Northern Mist, and the dozens of other captivating paintings presented here.

Review Guy Bourdin / V & A Publications:The impact of Bourdin's imagery on the realms of both commercial and fine art photography continues to resonate today. He made radical changes in both the style and the meaning of commercial imagery. His fashion shoots are mysterious, hypnotic, surreal, exposing the true and unnerving nature of desire. He shows us that, within the context of fashion, it is rarely the product that compels us. It is the image - the carefully staged narrative of sexual fantasy, the quest for the unattainable, the suggestion of danger - that stimulates consumer desire. ;Guy Bourdin was born in 1928 and during his youth in post-war Paris, he showed precocious artistic talent and fierce ambition. He presented himself to Man Ray in the early 1950s and was then spotted by French Vogue, where he went on to create some of their most sensational editorial images for over 30 years. His advertisements for Charles Jourdan shoes and Bloomingdales in the mid 1970s were the high point of his career and landmarks in the field of advertising. Throughout his life, Bourdin created images at a relentless pace and his work calls to mind the surrealist films of Bunuel or David Lynch. The images chosen for this book include.

Review Encyclopedia of Clothing and Fashion Edition 1. 3-Volume Set (Scribner Library of Daily Life) / Charles Scribner's Sons:From diapers to Dior, saris to serapes, the world of clothing is nearly as vast and as ancient as the human race. Tracing the stylistic and functional threads that unite clothing across time and cul-tures - as well as delving into the divergent styles and significance of apparel - this A to Z encyclopedia is the essential resource for exploring the relationship between culture and couture. This broad-based set surveys clothing, body adornment, and examines the origins of clothing, the development of fabrics and technologies, and the social meanings of dress. It also presents information on representative costumes from a wide variety of historical eras, which are frequently the topic of student research. Topics range from the bustle, sari, and toga to Polyester and body piercing. The short entries explain the history of garments (necktie, codpiece, cocktail dress, bathing suit, burqua, Nehru jacket), techniques and manufactures (batik, dry cleaning, zipper, stone washing), body adornment (makeup, mask, tattoo, wig), and important persons and institutions (Coco Chanel, Edith Head, Yves Saint-Laurent, Fashion Institute of Technology). The longer essays provide cultural context: class, gender, sumptuary laws, costume design for stage and screen, advertising; fashion careers; ecclesiastical dress; military uniforms; etc. The set includes a comprehensive general index in the last volume, a timeline, and a topical outline. From the secondary school student writing a paper on dress among Native Americans to the university student interested in the underpinnings of clothing design, this set represents a unique and valuable source.

Review INSTRUCTION MANUAL #2 (One Picture Book #3) / Nazraeli Pr:Artist Book. The third title in the now-legendary "One Picture Book" Series by Nazraeli Press, one of the most superb ongoing projects of contemporary art photography. Limited Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. Accompanied by one tipped-in, original print by the artist/photographer (hence the Series' name). An elegant production: Small-size volume format. Titles on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Terri Weifenbach. The details, reproduced in offset color, function as emotional operating instructions for viewing the photographs from which they were taken. The Type C print is archivally processed. ¿Weifenbach¿s minimalist images of sky and ground recall the abstract rectangles of Mark Rothko. [+]Other images are more intricate, infused with an assortment of blaring reds and mellower greens and beiges. In all, harsher angles are buffered, making ordinary material appear unexpectedly lyrical¿ (ARTNews). Another triumphant achievement from the delicate genius of Weifenbach. 12 color plates, 1 original print. One of the finest American artist/photographers of the 21st century.
