Paperback. Condition: Good. Abbeville Kids expands its award-winning series of interactive, inquiry-based books designed to teach children about the world by looking at art, and about art by looking at the world. In How Artists See the Elements children can see how Red Grooms created clumps of earth out of dabs and lines of paint; how Arthur Dove captured the beauty and destructiveness of fire at the same time; how N. C. Wyeth made air "visible"; and how Katsushika Hokusai suggested the immense power of the oceans waves by using strong, curving lines. Each volume in the How Artists See series presents sixteen diverse works of art, all devoted to a subject that every child already knows from personal experience. Author Colleen Carroll's engaging, conversational text is filled with thought-provoking questions and imaginative activities that spark children's natural curiosity both about the subject of the artwork they are looking at and about the way it was created. This direct, interactive approach to art--and to the world--promotes self-exploration, self-discovery, and self-expression. As it introduces basic artistic concepts, styles, and techniques, it also provides loads of fun. For children who want to know more about the artists whose works appear in the book, biographies are provided at the end, along with suggestions for further reading and an international list of museums where each artists works can be seen. As they begin to understand the multitude of ways that artists see, children will deepen their appreciation of art, the world around them, and, most importantly, their own unique visions. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Even the most confirmed armchair traveller can now tour one of the world's finest art collections. The 300 full-colour illustrations have been carefully chosen by the museum's directors to highlight the very best of the outstanding collection at the Prado, with photographs specially commissioned for the Abbeville Tiny Folio editions. Built in the late eighteenth century as a natural history museum, the Museo del Prado houses some of the world's finest paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts. Generations of Spanish royalty commissioned and collected the most celebrated art of their time, leaving behind them the magnificent paintings of Velasquez, Goya, Murillo, Ribera, and El Greco, along with masterpieces by Botticelli, Titian, Van Eyck, and Raphael, which are now among the Prado's most renowned paintings. Felipe Vincente Garin Llombart provides a guided tour of these legendary paintings, and of the museum's equally significant collection of sculpture, which includes works dating from ancient Greece and Rome to the present. The Prado's treasure trove of decorative arts is also covered. In his lively preface, Mr Garin Llombart describes the fascinating history of the museum and its acquisitions. Felipe Vincente Garin Llombart is director of the Museo del Prado. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. During his 60-odd years as a painter Francis Bacon fearlessly tackled the unruly imagery of life, remaining defiantly committed to giving this purposeless existence a meaning. His insistence on depicting the mysteries of human experience had been rare in an age dominated by abstraction. Now, with the international resurgence of figurative imagery, the pivotal importance of his work has become more obvious than ever before. The power and magnitude of his life's work are vividly conveyed by this thorough evaluation written by Hugh Davies and Sally Yard. Born in Dublin, as a teenager Bacon moved to London, where he worked as an interior designer and taught himself to paint. Responding to influences as diverse as Michelangelo and the photographer Muybridge, he has created a motion-filled style uniquely his own. Fascinated by the challenge of capturing what he calls the mysteries of appearance, Bacon confronts us with emotional images that demand an emotional response. About Abbeville's Modern Masters series: With informative, enjoyable texts and over 100 illustrations-approximately 48 in full colour-this innovative series offers a fresh look at the most creative and influential artists of the postwar era. The authors are highly respected art historians and critics chosen for their ability to think clearly and write well. Each handsomely designed volume presents a thorough survey of the artists life and work, as well as statements by the artist, an illustrated chapter on technique, a chronology, lists of exhibitions and public collections, an annotated bibliography, and an index. Every art lover, from the casual museum goer to the serious student, teacher, critic, or curator, will be eager to collect these Modern Masters. And with such a low price, they can afford to collect them all. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Antonio Gaudi (1852-1926) is one of the most admired architects of the 20th century. Even today, some 75 years after Gaudi's death, his fanciful, exuberant buildings define Barcelona's cityscape and continue to influence architects, sculptors, and designers. Perhaps best known for the dynamic, sculptural facades, found on such buildings as the church of the Sagrada Familia and Casa Mila, Gaudi is as much respected as a technological innovator as a daring stylist. In this enlightening volume, a concise, knowledgeable text by the director of the Royal Gaudi Chair at the Polytechnical University of Catalonia (Barcelona) combines with striking images by a well-known architectural photographer to provide a new perspective on Gaudi's remarkable career. The text covers the full range of his oeuvre, describing early assignments in the 1870s as a draftsman for leading architects in Barcelona, the innovative buildings he created for the Guell Palace and Estate, daring new structural solutions at Bellesguard, architecture inspired by nature at the Casa Calvet and in the Park Guell, and the construction of his unfinished masterpiece, the Church of the Sagrada Familia, which occupied him until his death. The author traces all the influences that led to his definitive style, from his fascination with the Orient and neogothicism to his affinity for naturalism and specific geometric forms. Brilliantly illustrated, this incisive overview of Gaudi's visionary work is ideal for those who delight in his architecture as well as those who look forward to travelling to Spain to see his monumental legacy. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Published in association with the American Library of Congress, this miniature folio is based on the well-known frontier artwork of Catlin's "North American Indian Portfolio", McKenney and Hall's "History of the Indian Tribes of North America" and Bodmer's "America" These three historic collections of prints and paintings were the first to preserve images of native Americans before their culture was affected by the white man. By chance, George Catlin saw several visiting Indians in outlandish dress in Philadelphia. Entranced, he later wrote, "The history and customs of such a people, preserved by pictorial illustration, are themes worthy of the lifetime of one man, and nothing short of the loss of my life shall prevent me from visiting their country, and becoming their historian." Catlin spent almost eight years in the wilderness west of the Mississippi where he was allowed to observe many of the ceremonies and games in the villages, which enabled him to provide a remarkably detailed picture of the tribe's religious and social life. Thomas L. McKenney, head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, began hiring artists to record likenesses and regalia of various tribes in 1824. The McKenney and Hall history included reproductions of 120 Indian paintings by artists such as Charles Bird King, Henry Inman, Peter Rindisbacher and James Otto Lewis. Bodmer's "America" consists of the complete collection of engravings illustrating the travels of Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied in the interior of North America from 1832-1834. Swiss artist Karl Bodmer accompanied Prince Maximilian on a two-year journey and chronicled a moving encounter as the natives of the trans-Mississippi West came under the sympathetic scrutiny of these two remarkable observers.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Antonio Gaudi (18521926) is one of the best-known architects of the twentieth century. Even today, some seventy-five years after Gaudi's death, his playful, exuberant buildings continue to influence architects, sculptors, and designers. Perhaps most identified with the dynamic, sculptural facades found on his structures, Gaudi is respected as much for his technological innovations as for his daring style. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Inspired by the whimsical movie, "The 'Wizard of Oz' Cookbook" begins with a brief stop in Kansas for some of Aunt Em's heartland fare and then soars over the rainbow to the fantasy-food in the land of Oz. These easy-to-follow recipes (each with a maximum of ten ingredients and short preparation time), are sprinkled with amusing trivia from the movie. The book is intended to be useful as a party planner. Following the inspiration of the original film, each chapter is organized around a theme - a dinner party in Kansas, a kids' party in Munchkinland, a cocktail party at the Witch's castle, a dessert party in Emerald City, and so on. Along the yellow brick road, we find such treats as Emerald Castle Cake, Wicked Witch's Brew, Kansas Crullers, Munchkinland Lollipops and Yellow Brickle brownies. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
