The Silver Age of Comic Book Art

Collectors Press, 2003

Silver is the New Gold!
The Silver age of comic book art rules, as does the Silver age itself. Yeah, yeah, I've read Golden Age comics, as well as books and articles about them, and I know that members of my generation gush over them and all that, but personally, I find Golden Age stuff flat, two-dimensional, and of little interest other than of it's historical nature. (Having said, that, I do want to give a sideways ...

Vendome Press, 2008

A lush, invaluable reference guide to the Silver Age
This lushly illustrated volume captures the artistic explosion that was Russia's Silver Age. From Blok and Akhmatova, to Stravinsky, Bakst, Repin, Pasternak, Vrubel and Meyerhold, the first two decades of the 20th century were a time of exciting and colorful artistic experimentation in Russia. As Bowlt (a member of this magazine's Advisory Board) writes in the introduction: "there was something ...

Saddlemaker to the Stars: The Leather and Silver Art of Edward H. Bohlin

University of Washington Press, 1997

A rare masterpiece.
This magnificent book is beyond breathtaking and deserves far more than a 5-star rating. I saw many of these priceless silver saddles, spurs and other Edward Bohlin masterpieces in parades years ago. They're even more dazzling today. Gorgeous color photographs taken by Susan Einstein certainly do them justice. I'd have paid the full $60.00 for this one without a whimper.

Review of great book

Northern Renaissance Art

Prentice Hall, 2004

The Other Half of the Renaissance
Books on the Renaissance can be quite confusing to non-specialists. For example, Shakespeare classes in English schools discuss him as a Renaissance writer. Yet art teachers describe his near contemporary, Rubens, as the quintessential Baroque artist! So exactly what does Northern Renaissance Art cover? Is it an age that can be separated, marked out and surveyed by political or religious ...

Chronicle Books, 1991

Blue Note: Best Jazz & Best Jazz Album Covers
Poor your favorite beverage; play your favorite jazz album; then sit down and enjoy this wonderful collection. If jazz were a book, this would be it! The artwork is stunning and the layout is exceptional. The covers tell a history of jazz that words cannot convey, a story of innovation, rhythm, and of music that comes from the heart.

Minority Silver of China
An excellent overview of the silver jewelry of the minority tribes of China, it also addresses clothing and textiles. The photos are superb, with some elements shown larger than actual size. This book would be of interest to both collectors and artisans. The items depicted are from the Rene van der Star Collection. That is the same collection showcased in the book Ethnic Jewellery from ...
