› Find signed collectible books: 'Camouflage'Book summary:The fascinating story of camouflage: from nature to the military to the worlds of art, design, and popular culture.
The animal kingdom provides examples of all the essential principles of camouflage: the chameleon, whose colors change to merge with its setting; the zebra, whose vivid stripes disrupt its outline and make it more difficult for predators to sight from a distance; the stick insect that pretends to be what it's not.
Creativity in the art of disguise was spurred in World War I by the threats of aerial reconnaissance and long-range enemy fire. Aircraft and ships were painted with lozenge and zigzag patterns to make them more difficult to target. Artists were involved in creating these patterns, and were influenced in turn by the extraordinary painted vessels, said to be like floating cubist paintings. In 1919 the Chelsea Arts Club in London, inspired by wartime camouflage patterns, staged the Dazzle Ball, the first known example of camouflage influencing popular culture. Since then, artists from Pablo Picasso to Andy Warhol to Bridget Riley have explored the themes and extremes of camouflage and optical illusion, while camouflage patterns in clothes and accessories have filtered from the street to high fashion and back again.
Uniforms made from camouflage-printed textiles were first developed before World War II, and teams of artists, designers, and scientists worked together to create ever more sophisticated modes of camouflage and disguise. Today's high-tech research on textiles that are resistant to infrared and thermal detection shows a new direction in the future of camouflage. 300 illustrations, 250 in color [via]More editions of Camouflage:

Images and Understanding: Thoughts About Images Ideas About Understandingby Jonathan Miller , Colin Blakemore, Horace Barlow, Miranda Weston-SmithISBN 0521369444 (0-521-36944-4)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Images and Understanding: Thoughts About Images Ideas About Understanding'Book summary:How do you paint a picture of infinity? How do you dance about death? How do you draw a diagram explaining entropy? Images and Understanding explores the human problem of moving facts and ideas from one mind to another - the problems of how we see and communicate using images expressed in pictures, diagrams, words, music and dance. For artists as well as scientists discussion of this topic is timely; electronic and computing technology is expanding the means of generating and communicating images, while physiology and psychology are revealing the neural mechanisms of coding, perceiving and understanding them. The book is divided into six sections, each with an explanatory introduction followed by comprehensively illustrated contributions from internationally distinguished figures from fields as diverse as art history, choreography, psychology, computer science, and philosophy. Images and Understanding is unique in viewing the problems of imagery through the eyes of both science and art; it gives new insight into images and new ideas about understanding. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'On Reflection'Book summary:Jonathan Miller has spent most of his prolific and distinguished career bringing the arts and science together to offer a richer and more complex understanding of the ways in which we come to "see" the world around us, and how art itself plays games with our perception of reality. On Reflection continues this preoccupation, and is an extraordinary exposition of how we see, and what we think we see, through an exploration of that most enigmatic of visual puzzles, the reflection.
As Miller points out, the artistic representation of reflection is based on a conundrum that has puzzled and challenged artists for centuries: how to represent the play of light which creates the effect of a reflection upon a flat surface using opaque material such as ink and paint. This problem is particularly acute in Miller's most sustained example--the mirror. When we look into a mirror, we do not "see" the surface, we only see our reflection. But in a painting our eye is drawn to the marked surface of the canvas, which creates the illusion of a reflection. Through a dazzling investigation of artists as diverse as Van Eyck, Durer, Velazquez, Ingres, Helen Chadwick and Robert Mapplethorpe, Miller explores the tricks and games by which painting and more recently photography create this illusion of reflection.
Drawing on studies of cognitive perception, On Reflection explains how we come to understand the difference between a reflection and "the real thing", and how vital reflections are in defining our own sense of identity. Miller's fascination with and enthusiasm for his subject come across in bravura and original reassessments of the paintings he considers, and in the tricks that these paintings often play on the viewer. Lavishly and imaginatively illustrated, with wonderful inset captions which take the paintings apart in support of Miller's argument, this is one of the most enjoyable, accessible, and original books on art to have appeared in recent years. Essential for both connoisseurs and anyone interested in art history. --Jerry Brotton [via]
