A muct have for contemporary artists
I have found this book most helpful. The articles written by the various contributors is worth the price alone. The illustrations are satisfactory as most of these works are about texture.This book will be a friend for a long time.

Art as Art: The Selected Writings of Ad Reinhardt (Documents of Twentieth-Century Art)

1 review

University of California Press, 1991

Students of Ad Reinhardt only
This book will only be valuable to people interested in or studying the work of Ad Reinhardt. For this purpose, it is excellent. Rose's introductions are clear and concise, however, Reinhardt's writing itself tends to be esoteric and repetitive. For those who are interested in this era of American painting in general (primarily the 1950's) this probably won't be that helpful as Reinhardt's ...

Monochromes: From Malevich to the Present (Ahmanson-Murphy Fine Arts Books)
Barbara Rose

University of California Press, 2006

The first comprehensive study of the modern history of monochrome art, Monochromes traces the development of single-color artwork--painting, sculpture, photography, video, and installations--up to the present. With almost 160 full-color reproductions, this stunning book examines fundamental aesthetic issues raised by the monochrome in a historical context. The authors ask whether the monochrome is the last and most radical phase of abstract ...

Rose Group, 2003

Teaching You the Simplicity of Achieving Self Empowerment
I knew I would love this book from the moment I started reading it! Barbara Rose puts it simple, but not understated. Some of my favorite lines, "But we do have individual power to create rainbows from the rivers of tears we have shed." and "The truth shall set you free. If you do settle for less, then you are not living your truth. You are, once again, riding your river with each leg in a ...

Stop Being the String Along: A Relationship Guide to Being THE ONE

Barbara Rose

Rose Group, 2005

Truly a smart woman's guide to healthy relating!
I wished I had found Barbara's book years ago. Being single for 10 years and dating, most of what she writes I've already learned through trial and error. I found a lot of validation through her book and answered many questions on why it couldn't or didn't work the way I had hoped. Save yourself from the dramas of dating and read her book. It's a quick read and highlights the key areas of ...

Know Yourself: A Woman's Guide to Wholeness, Radiance & Supreme Confidence

Barbara Rose

Rose Group, 2006

Groundbreaking for Transformation and Self Esteem
In "Know Yourself" Barbara Rose did an outstanding job of bringing insight where I previously had confusion or uncertainty. There is a chapter covering abuse that helped me un-do more hurt from the past than I thought it would, and for that I am grateful. I wanted to quote directly from the book from page 98 because I feel this can help anyone, which is the purpose of this great book. ...

Activists and anthropologists, the authors of this volume reveal the devastating, complex, and long-term environmental health problems afflicting the people who worked in uranium mining and processing, lived in regions dedicated to the construction of nuclear weapons or participated, often unknowingly, in ...

life changing
I've had a hard time getting out of my own head - or so I thought. Reading this book made me realize that those first thoughts are the answers I am asking for - its all the other stuff that I think behind it that get me in trouble! Anyway, free form writing has always been a good source of information to me. Applying it to specific questions has helped me gain clarity in numerous situations. ...

If God Was Like Man: A Message from God to All of Humanity

'If God Was Like Man' is an AMAZING Book!
I read this book from cover to cover two times in a row and am still amazed at the clarity given by God in the messages for 'all of humanity.' The only part I felt myself entirely change my view was regarding the death penalty, which I used to advocate. Since reading this book I no longer do, and the reasons are so simply put, I can't imagine anyone not changing their views. The areas ...

From towering textile pieces to gigantic bronze installations, Abakanowicz's emotive creations are dually tranquil and disturbing, ...

This Will Touch Your Very Soul. The Message's are Transforming
Every time I read another one of Dr. Barbara Roses' books, I truly feel the same response; beautiful, brilliant, healing, loving, and simplistic; "Dear God, How Do I Get Over a Former Lover I Still Love" is just that!! "Gratitude is motivated by love, pain is motivated by fear". There are many more profound statements as this one written between the pages of this incredibly informative book. ...

A Handful Of Herbs: Gardening, Cooking And Decorating

2 reviews

Ryland Peters & Small, 2005

Had to have one for myself
I bought this book as a gift, but had to buy two so I could keep one. It covers all the standard herbs in the standard way, but what stands out in this little book are the photos of some very creative uses for the herbs. The "cooking with herbs" section is also well done and I've actually used some of the recipes! The print is very small, but the typeface is clear and simple so that helps to keep ...
