World War II In Cartoons by: Bryant, Mark

World War II In Cartoons
by: Bryant, Mark

Hardcover. New York, Gallery Books , reprint, 1989, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 160 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. Extensive b&w illustrations throughout. Gilt titles on spine. Light edge wear to bottom edge. Faint foxing to top edge, otherwise a clean, tight copy. Whether producing strips, social comment in magazines like Punch or Lilliput, savage caricature of allies and enemies, or a daily chronicle of events at home or abroad, little escaped the cartoonists pen during World War II and they encapsulated the great dramas in a way impossible in prose. This book is divided into chapters covering the war year-by-year, each chapter prefaced with a concise introduction that provides a historical framework for the cartoons of that year. Altogether some 300 cartoons, in color and black and white, have been skillfully blended to produce a unique record of World War II.

Ascending Chaos: The Art of Masami Teraoka 1966-2006
by: Bing, Alison and others

Hardcover. San Francisco, Chronicle Books, 1st, 2007, Book: Near Fine, Dust Jacket: Near Fine, 244 pages illustrated in color. Scholarly essays accompany this monograph on the Japanese-American artist. In publisher's shrinkwrap. Published to coincide with a series of major exhibitions extending beyond 2007, Ascending Chaos is the first major retrospective of Japanese-American artist Masami Teraoka's prolific and acclaimed work thus far. In Teraoka's paintings which have evolved from his wry mimicry of Japanese woodblock prints to much larger and complex canvasses reminiscent of Bosch and Brueghel the political and the personal collide in a riot of sexually frank tableaux. Populated by geishas and goddesses, priests, and politicians, and prominent contemporary figures, these paintings are the spectacular next phase of a wildly inventive career. With essays by renowned art critics who discuss how Teraoka's work inventively marries east and west, sex and religion, Ascending Chaos is a critical overview of this cultural trickster.

Hardcover. New Haven CT, Yale University Press, 1st, 1998, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 183 pages.

5 Giants Of Advertising
by: Lorin, Philippe

Softcover. NY, Assouline, 1st, 2001, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 152 pages. The history of advertising is detailed here through five of the world's most influential figures in the field. Albert Davis Lasker, who changed the consumer habits of the American public with his campaigns for Palmolive, Kotex and Lucky Strike. Leo Burnett, who gave life to mythical characters such as the Marlboro man and the Green Giant. Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet, the Frenchman who earned a place at the side of the American giants. David Ogilvy, who brought British style to American advertising. And finally, Bill Bernbach, who invented a new style of advertising, inspiring unique and creative work for clients such as Levy's bread and Polaroid film. This book profiles these pioneers and illustrates the campaigns that made them authorities in the advertising world. Although The 5 Giants Of Advertising focuses primarily on these men, it also includes many others who created, animated and reformed this profession.

Herman Miller: Classic Furniture and System Designs for the Working Environmentby: Berry, John Raymond

Herman Miller: Classic Furniture and System Designs for the Working Environment
by: Berry, John Raymond

Hardcover. NY, Thames & Hudson Ltd, 1st, 2005, Book: N, Hardcover, 256 pages. In 1936, the founder of Herman Miller Inc, D. J. De Pree, committed Herman Miller to 'modern' furniture, partly because he saw a moral dimension to Gilbert Rohde's clean designs, honest materials and lack of ornamentation. In 1984, a major impetus behind Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick's Equa chair was a desire to give a reasonably priced, comfortable, good-looking chair to everybody in offices - not just the top bosses. These are just two examples of the best work done at Herman Miller. The company is concerned with larger issues of humanity, equality and bettering the world by creating great places to work through design, and has, perhaps more than any other company, revolutionized office systems and furniture in the workplace. This book is the most up-to-date compilation available of the design efforts and results from Herman Miller since its foundation, reflecting its most recent work, activities and products. But it goes beyond simply cataloguing the work of the famous design team; it shows design-related attitudes of HMI and provides examples of the benefits of creative thinking and problem-solving. Written in clear, engaging prose, Herman Miller is a must-read for anyone interested in design.

A one-of-a-kind collection of movie posters spanning fifty years, from silent films to Cinemascope For four decades film historian Ira M. Resnick has been amassing a superb collection of 2,000 vintage movie posters and 1,500 stills, which has never before been published. Starstruck: Vintage Movie Posters from Classic Hollywood features the best of Resnick's collection, with vivid reproductions of 250 posters and forty stills from the golden age of Hollywood, 1912 to 1962. In a moving introduction, Resnick relates how his love of vintage movie art translated into a career as a collector and the founder of the Motion Picture Arts Gallery, the first gallery devoted exclusively to the art of the movies. Resnick's firsthand account offers entertaining anecdotes about how he managed to acquire such stellar film artwork, as well as historical information about the stars and films shown on the pieces he collected. Guiding the reader through the best posters and stills of his collection, Resnick provides a tour of cinematic history, starting in the silent film era and continuing up to Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). By showcasing several posters for each performer--such as Lillian Gish, the Marx Brothers, Marilyn Monroe, John Barrymore, and Audrey Hepburn--Resnick offers a unique method of charting the evolution of each movie star's career.

Diego Rivera: The Detroit Industry Muralsby: Downs, Linda Bank

Diego Rivera: The Detroit Industry Murals
by: Downs, Linda Bank

Hardcover. New York , W. W. Norton & Company, 1st, 1999, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 202 pages, illustrated with 242 color and b&w plates, including a pullout poster in rear pocket. Early in the Depression, Diego Rivera was commissioned by Edsel Ford to create a series of murals in the gallery of the Detroit Institute of Arts, giant frescos whose theme would be America's industrial might. This volume studies the astonishing results and gives us a remarkably close look at Diego and his wife, Frida Kahlo. Rivera's Detroit Industry murals are one of this country's greatest treasures. In addition to providing full coverage and analysis of the murals, the book includes chapters on the murals' planning and antecedents, Rivera's working methods (which can be read as a primer on frescos), Diego and Frida's lives for their nine months in Detroit, and the public's dramatic response to the strong socialist/communist themes in the works.
