The DMA is far from a great museum, but it does have some wonderful works. When i walk through it, I always think, what a big building for such a mediocre collection. This book is well done, the author is definitely familiar with the DMA and the text and images attest to that fact...I definitely recommend it..oh and the Nasher Sculpture Garden next door ...             Ancient Gold Jewelry at the Dallas Museum of Art1 review Barbara Deppert-Lippitz, Anne R.

The collection consists of Etruscan, Greek and Roman gold jewelry reaching back to the 7th century B.C. and ending around the 3rd century A.D. The text is informative and succinct.

Dallas Museum of Art, 2002 excellent One of the best books on an under-appreciated 18th century still life artist. The article by Eik Kahn is useful to fine artists and describes various approaches and outlooks from the period. The rest of the book is also well written and researched. It should be in every painter's library.             Brice Marden: Work of the 1990s : Paintings, Drawings, and Prints3 reviews Charles Wylie, Brice Marden Dallas Museum of Art, 1999 His finest work yet Brice Marden has been considered a master of his craft for nearly three decades and his recent paintings are the most powerful yet. Abandoning the rigid rectangles of his previous work, Marden has embarked upon a looser, yet structural form. The surface and application are still meticulate, reminding one of the sensuality of the oil and beeswax mix of the 60's work. Using what seems to be ...             Van Gogh's Sheaves of Wheat (Dallas Museum of Art publications)1 review Dorothy Kosinski, Bradley Fratello Dallas Museum of Art, 2006 If buying for the images, save your money. The reproductions are small, and the color is poor. The best example of this is Van Gogh's "Ears of Wheat," which contains beautiful and vibrant greens. The reproduction in the book is dull and a mess of yellow browns. It looks very little like the painting itself, leaving one to wonder about the trueness of the color in the other reproductions. Another painting by Robert Zund, which radiates ...             The Wanderers: Masters of Nineteenth-Century Russian Painting : An Exhibition from the Soviet Union2 reviews Dallas Museum of Art, 1991 An Excellent Catalog of an Exhibition of the Wanderers (Itinerants) If you are primarily interested in precise color as well as good explanations of the movement in all of its stages, I'd strongly recommend THE WANDERERS: MASTERS OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY RUSSIAN PAINTING: AN EXHIBITION FROM THE SOVIET UNION, which does include a number of well-known (to those familiar with the artists) paintings of the Itinerants/Wanderers. Entire sections on the patrons and ...             Julian Onderdonk: American Impressionist (Dallas Museum of Art Publications)1 review William Rudolph Dallas Museum of Art, 2008 Julian Onderdonk, American Impressionist The book features photographs of paintings exhibited at Dallas Museum of Art, entitled: "Julian Onderdonk: Bluebonnets and Beyond".

To truly appreciate it you need to see it in person as one can sit for hours in front of it. But it's story is also amazing - laying hidden away for decades. Forgotten. Love the art. Love the book.

And if you are ever in Dallas, please go see it in person at the Dallas Museum of Art.             The Artist and the Camera: Degas to Picasso2 reviews Dorothy Kosinski Dallas Museum of Art, 1999 Photography as the Painter and Sculptor's Intermediary I first became aware of the impact of photography on abstract art when I commissioned a portrait. Expecting to be told to sit, instead I was encouraged to strike poses that meant something to me. The artist followed me around with a Polaroid camera. We discussed what the camera was showing, and tried different poses. Eventually, I found one we both liked. Then he made copies of the ...             Black Art Ancestral Legacy: The African Impulse in African American Art Alvia J.
