› Find signed collectible books: 'Albert Bierstadt'
Albert Bierstadt, grandiose landscape painter, is best remembered for accomplishing for the West what the somewhat earlier Hudson River painters had accomplished for the Catskills. Employing huge canvases befitting his subjects, Bierstadt was the first artist to capture the monumentality of the American wilderness, thereby satisfying the contemporary public's desire for depictions of the mostly unknown and uninhabited West.
Although landscape painting brought him the fame and fortune he yearned for, a large part of Bierstadt's work included historical and genre-like paintings of frontier life, as the 32 full-color plates in this monograph reveal. Author Matthew Baigell suggests that there existed a separate persona within Bierstadt to accompany each painting style.
Matthew Baigell is Distinguished Professor in the Art History Department at Rutgers University.
84 pages. 10 ¼ x 11 in. (26 x 28 cm). 32 color plates. 9 black-and-white illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. [via]

Based on the idea that intuition is the overriding principle behind good design in painting, this volume covers all elements of composition and considers them both from a personal and a technical/practical point of view. Beginning with a section on perception, the authors emphasize how the artist can learn to be open to the painting experience, both consciously and unconsciously. They then discuss composition in terms of the elements of shape, pattern, planes, positive/negative space, and dynamics of movement. The next section explores the influences on composition of value and mass, light and shade, texture, proportion, and perspective. Finally, the authors specify creative approaches which the artist can experiment with to increase compositional skill and painting facility. Aimed at beginning and intermediate artists, this book is an invaluable introduction to the often overlooked role of intuition in the achievement of good design. [via]

The National Gallery in London was officially founded in the early nineteenth century and its works include many of the masterpieces of Renaissance art as well as the largest collection of Velazquez outside of Spain. The collections were moved to the present seat of Trafalgar Square in 1838 and donations continued at an impressive rate, filling out the collection with early Italian and Italian Renaissance paintings as well as Venetian landscapes -- perhaps better represented in London that in any other museum. The museum's collection includes early Flemish paintings, golden background Florentine and Sienese paintings, Italian Renaissance masterpieces from Masaccio to Botticelli and Raphael, from Giovanni Bellini to Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese, the Italian Seicento at its height, the vivid colors of Tiepolo and Guardi and Canaletto's captivating views, the greatest French painters from Poussin to Le Lorraine, and a spectacular series by Holbein the Younger. These are the pivot points around which rotates the entire world of European painting from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century. Added to this extraordinary heritage are masterpieces of French Impressionism and the English School. Paintings in the National Gallery, London is lavishly illustrated with 600 color plates and will be an invaluable resource for scholars and art lovers alike. [via]

Believing that strong feelings make for strong art, this insightful book shows painters how to scratch the surface of their unconscious to generate powerful emotions that unleash more meaningful work.
The author encourages readers to tap into childhood memories and other aspects of the inner self as revealed in animals, self-portraiture, and real or imagined landscapes. Using this approach, plus the fluid properties of the watercolor medium as it drips, forms puddles, and responds to every stroke of the brush, the reader develops paintings from the inside, with inner life as the model, and from the outside, with nature as the model.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Victorian Painting'
There is a tendency to lump British art of the mid- to late-19th-century into two distinct categories: the swooning, languorous beauties--images of idealised womanhood--depicted by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the no less idealised portraits of the social and political effects of the Industrial Revolution. Christopher Wood is a leading authority in this field--in 1971 he produced what has become the standard reference work on the subject, The Dictionary of Victorian Painters. In Victorian Painting, his richly illustrated overview of the art of that epoch, he argues that "to write a history of painting in the Victorian period is to write of England's golden age"--an age that produced artists as diverse as Constable, Millais, Frith, Waterhouse and Rossetti and that encompasses a 70-year span from the last vestiges of Romanticism in the 1830s to the impact of Post-Impressionism as the 20th century took hold. Chronologically ordered into carefully researched sections embracing movements as varied as Social Realism and Aestheticism, Military Battle Painting and the Classical Revival, Victorian Painting has drawn on the archives of Sotheby's and Christies among other art collections as well as a great number of private sources. The result is a history that is packed with generous colour templates, including Classical Revivalist Lord Leighton's famous orange-hued slumberer in Flaming June (1895) and Last Romantic John William Waterhouse's seductive enchantresses in Hylas and the Nymphs (1896). Informatively written and using imaginative picture research, as a catalogue of an age Victorian Painting is a volume to treasure. --Catherine Taylor [via]

New Guinea is home to more than a 1000 Stone Age tribes, each with its own language, customs and folklore which have changed little in 40,000 years. In eight trips over ten years, photographer Chris Rainier has travelled to the island to document the lives and rituals of the indigenous peoples. The result is this photographic record, showing the cultural distinctions of each tribe. Short essays accompany the photographs throughout, describing the adventures behind them. Traditions and celebrations captured include crocodile cults, ritualized costuming and tattooing, homosexual rites, sing-sing celebrations, spirit houses, rites of passage and shark calling. [via]

Brilliantly composed and masterfully tinted and lit, Winslow Homer's dynamic paintings imbued his subjects with an authenticity that was unprecedented in American art. Beginning with the Civil War and throughout his career, Homer (1836-1910) insightfully recorded the sweeping panorama of the nations life. While quintessentially American, his work also paralleled such developments in European art as Impressionism and embodied universal themes that transcended national concerns. The 12 paintings reproduced in this calendar touch on a wide range of the artists work.
