Van Gogh

Art Repros Worth Hanging
The Taschen Posterbooks are of excellent quality. The six Van Gogh's given us here, for a very low price, are a nicely representative group. Primarily the most impressive factor is the accuracy with which the colors are reproduced. Having seen many in person, I am very critical of prints with poor to pathetic truth in color. We like them to the point of hanging all 6 in our home. The images ...

A Window Into a Grand Twentieth Century Epic Life
It took me over a month but I finally finished this astonishing book. I'm exhausted and staggered by the sheer scope of this woman's life--it is in fact a story larger than life. By way of illustration, I recently read the famed and lengthy Carlos Baker biography of Ernest Hemingway. Let me tell you in no uncertain terms: Papa was a sissy in comparison to Leni Riefenstahl ...

Vermeer

A succinct but dazzling portfolio of Vermeer
Norbert Schneider has written many excellent books on art and among them is this small volume in which he addresses ALL of the paintings of Vermeer. Though the book is short (96 pages) it mirrors the output of the artist - he only painted thirty five works! Schneider's commentary is intelligent, brief, and in obvious adoration of the Dutch School of painting and Vermeer in particular. Not only ...

Monet

Taschen, 1999

From the Publisher Perhaps the most "typical" and best-known Impressionist painter, Claude Monet (18401926) dedicated his long life to a pictorial exploration of the sensations that realityin particular, landscapesoffers to the human eye. Full-color reproductions and thorough text provide a quick yet solid introduction to this master.

The Best Paper Model of Titanic Anywhere!
This Titanic Paper Model is by far the Largest, and most detailed I have ever seen. The Scale is 1:200 which is also 53". It is not for a beginner. Definitely Intermediate to Advance difficulty. I started building it in 1998, ended up getting destroyed. Just found it on Amazon, and just got it today. Can't wait to build it again. I recommend it to anyone that wants a challenge, but something that ...

Fantastic and inspirational book!
Well,when I was 14-15 years old,I was mostly interested in underwater photography and therefore,I had only a few photo books. But later,my interest for other animals too,grew much larger and therefore,I received this book as a christmas gift from my mother. It was really not a bad book,and it made me love Lanting and buy two more books with his pictures later. It is a huge book,weighing perhaps ...

An excellent introduction to a fascinating character
The intelligently written brief biography (in German, English, and French) is magnificently illustrated with glossy photographs of Ludwig's family, friends, and architectural creations, as well as large reproductions of every likeness of the king that I have ever seen. Often, many pages of pictures intervene between paragraphs of text. For someone who knows nothing of Ludwig, this book will ...

A candid collection capturing the essence of jazz musicians
William Claxton's Jazz is the union of two art forms: photography and jazz music. It is a window into the hey-day of that truly American musical form. True, music can (and usually does) speak for itself, but when visual imagery is presented in such an honest and candid way, one is able to glimpse the artist, and at once feel the moment that has been captured on film. Whether caught up in a ...

American Dream Screens
If you are a fan of Edward Hopper this is a nice collection to have. Whenever I was in the Loop in Chicago I always made it a point to visit the Art Institute and my favorite painting- Nighthawks. I believe that is where I bought my copy. As the description states, this painting is primarily a screen for projected fantasy. The six poster reproductions (31 x 44 cm) are as follows: 1) Chop ...

He coined the term travelogue in 1904 to advertise his unique performance and thrilled audience with two-hour sets of stories timed to projections of multihued hand-painted glass-lantern slides and some of the first moving pictures.

Paint'em on the Nose of your Bomber, Flyboy!
If the Saturday Evening Post became a classic stag magazine, then it would be filled with the Gil Elvgren's pin-ups. My girlfriend framed the "Bubbling Over" postcard I sent her long ago and now it hangs in our bathroom!
