books about: monograph     books:       Jock Sturges45 reviews Distributed Art Pub Inc (Dap), 1996 People cared for beautifully. Gerry Badger, in a listing of 250 key photographers, refers to Jock Sturges as the leading photographer of the "natural" nude (p. 170, Collecting Photography, Mitchell Beazley). This is fine, as far as it goes, but is too limited an introduction to Mr. Sturges's work. Mr. Sturges's photography is not limited to nudes. Neither can his subject matter be properly described as the nude or the ...             Claudia DeMonte32 reviews Eleanor Heartney Pomegranate, 2009 Claudia DeMonte This book is one of the more captivating presentations of an artist's work in recent years. The simple, but elegant design allows the viewer to witness the progress of a lifetime of substantial work in an orderly fashion; a huge, significant body of work that speaks volumes for art history, woman history and contemporary global thinking. This book presents a rich documentation of a nomadic ...             Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (Monograph Series)43 reviews Amer Acad of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2002 Addressed the hard questions no one else could anwer for me... When faced with a trauma in my life, I began to read prolifically on the topic of pain and suffering. Although many authors touched the surface of the storm of questions whirling inside me none addressed the depths of my doubts. This has been the most satisfying and comforting book I've read on suffering and what it means to believe in a loving, sovereign and wise God through it all. I tell ...             Wall and Piece76 reviews Banksy Random House UK, 2007 Angry artist with a great sense of humor I really hate 99% of graffiti. It is destructive and at best it's bad art, but usually it's just plain crap done by really stupid bored kids. Destruction is always the simplest thing to do. That said - Bansky is brilliant. He is an artist (better yet an angry artist with a lot to say and a n excellent sense of humor). This book is a must for lovers of contemporary art.             Mythology: The DC Comics Art of Alex Ross63 reviews Alex Ross Titan Books Ltd, 2004 Superheroes should feel honored to be drawn by him Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3S4O2IVIDB15U This book on Alex Ross comic art is stunning. There are comics where the characters are brought to life by the art and story, but you know that they are still created from imagination. With Alex Ross, it seems like he's drawing a character that really exists. His sense of realism is unparalleled. He blurs the line between fantasy and ...             Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo35 reviews Hayden Herrera Perennial (HarperCollins), 1991 Brilliant I bought this book after re-watching the movie taken largely from this exhaustive biography. As someone who has read many bios, let me say that this is a refreshing and encouraging alternative to the fawning and excessive grocery store drivel and/or the dull and fact-filled dissertations that describe most biographies. Hayden Herrera manages to combine a staggeringly comprehensive detailing of ...             A Knock at the Door54 reviews Angi Sullins and Silas Toball Duirwaigh, Inc., 2006 Love, Light, & Laughter! Purely magical, inspiringly mystical, this darling book speaks to the child within and brings it back to life. Simply breathing through the book, hope is rekindled as we remember what is true, real, and possible. Thank you Angi and Silas for bringing together so many works of art into an incredible experience full of Love, Light, & Laughter!             Lust for Life49 reviews Irving Stone Arrow Books Ltd, 1990 The Soul of An Artist Irving Stone created a wondeful biography of Van Gogh, who is one of the definative "tortured" artists if for nothing more than his name is synonymous with the phrase to most people who are even casual fans of art. In this book Stone captures the emotions of Van Gogh and the highs and lows of his life. This sheds even more meaning on his works of art. I was fortunate enough to see a Van Gogh ...             Andy Goldsworthy: A Collaboration with Nature59 reviews Andy Goldsworthy Harry N. Abrams, 1990 Great book, great price This was my first Amazon experience and it was great! The book was in great condition, arrived quickly and has been enjoyed by the children at my Nursery School. I would definitely order off Amazon again since the price was so reasonable.             Sacred Mirrors: The Visionary Art of Alex Grey34 reviews Alex Grey Inner Traditions, 1990 Sacred Mirrors Art This book is %95 pictures and the rest is just explanation of the artist's concept. The paintings are so detailed and keeps you entertained. This book makes a good addition to an art book collection. Grey's painting technique is very good, he draws human figures that show their veins, muscles and energy. Every piece is similar to the others but have a unique look. Worth buying.             Leonardo Da Vinci: The Complete Paintings and Drawings25 reviews Frank Zollner, Johannes Nathan Taschen, 2003 awesome this book is a daily source of admiration, exposed on our table and we change the page practically every day to have a new work of wonder to admire every day. combined with more and deeper information on leonardo da Vinci the true art becomes clear.             Jim Henson: The Works - The Art, the Magic, the Imagination26 reviews Christopher Finch Random House, 1993 Amazing! Amazing book, it takes you deep into the mind and the heart of Jim Henson and his creativity. It shows you that nothing is impossible and that great friendships can develope in unforgettable characters.             Andy Warhol: Giant Size22 reviews Editors of Phaidon Press, Dave Hickey Phaidon Press, 2006 Great book This is a real great (and large ;-) ) book with beatiful reproductions of Andy Warhol. My children love to go through it. It was also for sale on the Warhol exhibition in the "Stedelijk Museum" in Amsterdam last year.             Barlowe's Inferno20 reviews Wayne Barlowe, Tanith Lee Morpheus International, 2006 Beautiful color work and imagination This collection is basically Barlowe's visual interpretation of Dante's Inferno from The Divine Comedy. Each painting has a page of description pointing out the purpose and reason for every detail in the image. From a tortorous picture of Lillith, to the haunting painting of a minor demon riding on the backs of several tortoured souls held together with muck, they are each fascinating to ...             Calder Jewelry25 reviews Other Distribution, 2007 Gorgeous pictures I was lucky enough to see this exhilarating Calder exhibition in NY. This book of Calders jewelry is simply gorgeous and does justice to the originals. The photographs of the jewelry pieces are crisp and beautiful- a real visual pleasure. One of the nicest art books I have seen and a must have for Calder fans.             J.W. Waterhouse20 reviews Peter Trippi Phaidon Press, 2002 The best book out there on J.W. Waterhouse! This is the best book I have found on J.W. Waterhouse. Not only does this book talk about the painter's life, but more importantly, each of J.W .Waterhouse's paintings are described in very full detail (eg: OPHELIA). I was so intrigued by reading about Waterhouses' pictures, because the author of this wonderful book (ie: PETER TRIPPI) elaborated in great detail about each work of Art, by ...             R.Crumb Coffee Table Art Book: Crumb's Whole Career, from Shack to Chateau21 reviews Robert Crumb Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 1998 Excellent! I just picked up the hardcover edition yesterday at the bargain section of my local bookstore. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. It's in chronological order of R. Crumb's work broken into chapters. Each chapter starts with a write up by him telling about what was going on in his life at that time, and how some of the drawings came to be. I find him to be a fascinating artist. He ...             Sagmeister: Made You Look22 reviews Stefan Sagmeister, Peter Hall Abrams, 2009 Made You Look Stephen Sagmeister is one of the most entertaining and innovative personalities in the design field.
