Dreams and Shadows: Thomas H. Hotchkiss in Nineteenth-Century Italyby: Novak, Barbara

Dreams and Shadows: Thomas H. Hotchkiss in Nineteenth-Century Italy
by: Novak, Barbara

Softcover. New York, Universe Pub, 1st, 1993, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 138 pages. Softcover. Color photographs. Light edgewear to wrappers otherwise clean, unmarked copy. Hotchkiss (1833-69), an American painter and intimate of Asher B. Durand and Elihu Vedder, is the quintessential delicate artist who dies, underappreciated, at a young age. The title refers not only to his romantic landscapes but also to his sketchy career. This catalog accompanies an exhibition that opens this fall at the National Academy of Design. Novak, a premier art historian of the Hudson River School, provides a provocative essay on Hotchkiss as the fragile, poetic artist fixated on capturing evocative images of the ancient past. Felker, the exhibition curator, provides an insightful catalog of works arranged by subject matter. Appendixes include an exhibition checklist, a chronology of the artist's life, and transcriptions of selected manuscript material. Recommended for academically oriented art history collections.

Writing in Gold: Byzantine Society and is Icons by: Robin Cormack

Writing in Gold: Byzantine Society and is Icons
by: Robin Cormack

Hardcover. London, George Philip, 1st, 1985, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. 270 pages, illustrated in b&w. Writing in Gold is a bold and challenging statement about the importance of the visual arts in a largely illiterate society. Exploring the height of Byzantine society from the 6th to the 12th centuries through a survey of the period's surviving paintings, mosaics, and metalware, the book shows how these art objects molded attitudes and beliefs in the medieval world. The examples chosen cover the full range of Byzantine society from the sophisticated urban environment of Constantinople, where emperors used art to maintain loyalty and support for the system, to the life of a small community on Cyprus, where a recluse used art to glorify himself to his disciples. Written in a lively style, and drawing on new and original material throughout, Writing in Gold illuminates an intriguing period in art history. Small name on front fly leaf, otherwise clean.

A Year in the Life of Andy Warhol by: Dalton, David. (Text) McCabe, David. (Photographs)

A Year in the Life of Andy Warhol
by: Dalton, David. (Text) McCabe, David. (Photographs)

Hardcover. NY, Phaidon Press, 1st, 2003, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, translucent dust jacket, 240 pages. In late 1964 Andy Warhol commissioned young fashion photographer David McCabe to document his daily activities for one year. During the course of this project, whenever the artist called McCabe would come to meet him at The Factory, an opening, a party, a coffeeshop or any place where Warhol would decide that he wanted to be accompanied by the photographer and his camera. In the end, these images were never published, perhaps because they revealed more than the increasingly-famous Warhol was willing to share with the public. Hidden away for almost 40 years, the significant majority of these 400 duotone photos are now presented together for the first time to fulfill their original intention in an astounding tour de force of dynamic and often poignant realism: A Year in the Life of Andy Warhol. These images not only represent unique documentation of one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century, but also provide a rare behind-the-scenes look at the New York art world at a time when Pop art was at its peak. McCabe's photographs are accompanied by the entertaining descriptions and reminiscences of Factory insider David Dalton, one of Warhol's first assistants.

Stuntman #1 Facsimile Edition
by: Jack Kirby/Joe Simon

Softcover. PS Artbooks, reprint, 2024, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 56 pages. High-flying action and jaw-dropping stunts as legendary creators Jack Kirby and Joe Simon create an entirely new non-super character. A daredevil stuntman is embroiled in circus stunts and movie directing, and it's all some of S&K's finest Golden Age work. Killer double-page action spreads akin to their work for Captain America in 1941-42. Features " Killer of the Big-Top," "The House of Madness," and "The Crime on Cauliflower Row," all by S&K. Plus "The Furnished Room" by Bill Draut (part of the Simon and Kirby Studio) and an adventure of Junior Genius by J. Keeler, a back up strip. Sadly, Stuntman came along after the war when superheroes were on the way out...even though he was not super-powered, but had more in common with Batman. He lasted for just two issues, and an ashcan third issue. Then his adventures were reprinted in Thrills of Tomorrow #19 and 20, in 1955. #19 even reused this exact cover in an attempted revival just before the Comics Code.

Pollen's Women: The Art of Samson Pollen
by: Deis, Robert, Doyle, Wyatt

Hardcover. New Texture, 1st, 2018, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, pictorial boards, 135 pages. A lush visual archive collecting some of artist Samson Pollen's most memorable pieces, selected from the hundreds of jaw-dropping illustrations Pollen provided for men's adventure magazines (MAMs) from the 1950s through the 1970s. Sexy women were a regular component of story illustrations published in the more than 160 MAM titles that flourished from the early 1950s through the mid-1970s, and nobody painted beautiful and dangerous femmes like Pollen. Much of the artist's work--literally, hundreds of pieces--saw print in the Atlas/Diamond group of MAMs from Marvel Comics founder Martin Goodman's Magazine Management Company. Until now, almost none of these illustrations have seen print since their original publication in those latter-day pulps. POLLEN'S WOMEN collects the artist's sexiest and most lethal female portraits in a deluxe hardcover edition, with an autobiographical introduction by the artist.

Blazing Combatby: Goodwin, Archie

Blazing Combat
by: Goodwin, Archie

Softcover. Seattle, Fantagraphics, reprint, 2013, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, A comic-book classic with timely resonance: Blazing Combat was an American war-comics magazine published by Warren Publishing from 1965 to 1966. Written and edited by Archie Goodwin , with artwork by such industry notables as Gene Colan , Frank Frazetta , John Severin , Alex Toth , Al Williamson, Russ Heath, Reed Crandall, and Wally Wood , it featured war stories in both contemporary and period settings, unified by a humanistic theme of the personal costs of war, rather than by traditional men's adventure motifs. What proved to be the most controversial were stories set during the then-contemporary Vietnam War; one such story caused key distributors to stop selling the title. Fantagraphics softcover edition of the sold-out 2011 hardcover, magnificently printed and bound, of these stories, superbly reproduced from the original printer's film negatives.

Perfume: Joy, Scandal, Sin - A Cultural History of Fragrance from 1750 to the Presentby: Stamelman, Richard

Perfume: Joy, Scandal, Sin - A Cultural History of Fragrance from 1750 to the Present
by: Stamelman, Richard

Hardcover. NY, Rizzoli, 1st, 2006, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 384 pages, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. This thought-provoking volume transports readers to France of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, beginning with Napoleon's love of perfume and the erotic importance he attached to it, through the lore and symbolism fragrance enjoyed in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Europe. By the early twentieth century, perfume's place as one of France's most important luxury industries was recognized and celebrated, and timeless fragrances--such as Chanel No. 5, Shalimar, Arpeges, and Joy--were launched. The distinctive bottles for these new essences and the art movements that inspired their design are detailed throughout the book, as are paintings, poetry, and literature that reveal the power of perfume and its ability to recall the past and evoke sensuality. According to nineteenth-century perfumer Eugene Rimmel, "the history of perfume is, in some manner, the history of civilization." Through fascinating text accompanied by gorgeous imagery, including packaging, labels, and advertisements, Perfume: Joy, Scandal, Sin explores perfume's impact on history, culture, society, art, and attitudes.

Oxford Project, The
by: Feldstein, Peter (Photographer)

Paperback. New York, Welcome Books, 1st, 2008, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 287 pages. Hardcover with no dust jacket. A very clean, unmarked copy with only minor edgewear. Holographic photograph on front cover. In 1984, photographer Peter Feldstein set out to photograph every single resident of his town, Oxford, Iowa (pop. 676). He converted an abandoned storefront on Main Street into a makeshift studio and posted fliers inviting people to stop by. At first they trickled in slowly, but in the end, nearly all of Oxford stood before Feldstein's lens. Twenty years later, Feldstein decided to do it again. Only this time he invited writer Stephen G. Bloom to join him, and together they went in search of the same Oxford residents Feldstein had originally shot two decades earlier. Some had moved. Most had stayed. Others had passed away. All were marked by the passage of time.
