Van gogh
by keith wheldon
1st edition 1989
van gogh is a painter renowned today for his tragic life and for the high prices his works now fetch at auction the tragedy is all the greater as he sold almost none of his paintings during his lifetime the nineteenth century public was not ready for his bold, uncompromising brushstrokes and his use of pure intense colour although he once said that he was expressing the 'terrible human emotions with the colours red and green, his paintings are far more than the unmediated outpourings of a tortured psyche art historian keith wheldon takes a fresh look at van gogh's work, and demonstrates that many factors including his middle class background and fear of women, influenced both his style and his choice of subject
van gogh's earliest works date from the 1880s when he painted local dutch weavers and peasants in sombre earth tones it was only later, particularly when he was working in the brilliant sunshine of arles in the south of france, that he developed the colourful palette of such familiar images as the sunflowers, the starry night and van gogh's room following several spells in an asylum, his artistic vision darkened and his style be came increasingly agitated, culminating in crows over a wheatfield, the last painting before his suicide
for this new large format book, 120 of van gogh's best loved works and many fasci nating lesser known paintings have been chosen each is reproduced in full colour, described in detail and placed in the context of van gogh's whole oeuvre van gogh brings fresh insight into one of the world's most popular but misunderstood painters, and this is a book that will continue to give pleasure to art lovers and historians for years to come
keith wheldon was educated at the univer sities of east anglia and sussex, and at the courtauld institute of art he has written and lectured on a wide range of nineteenth and twentieth century subjects and contributed to a number of films, exhibitions, and television programmes he is involved with research on european symbolism, and is making a special study of renoir's later work he also writes on postwar and contemporary art he is presently senior lecturer in art history at oxford polytechnic

The Art of Maurice Sendak
by Selma G. Lanes
Creator of Where the Wild Things Are, In the Night Kitchen, Higglety Pigglety Pop!, and the illustrations for many other memorable children's books, Maurice Sendak ranks among the best-known, best-loved artists of today. For nearly thirty years, he has spoken to the child-mind in young and adult alike. He is winner of both the Hans Christian Andersen Medal (the highest international honour in the field of children's book illustration) and the Caldecott Medal (awarded annually by the American Library Association).
Sendak's life and work are explored in affectionate detail in this book, which is illustrated with drawings, paintings and photographs, 94 of them in full colour and over 165 in black and white. Selma Lanes, editor and critic of children's books, has drawn upon many conversations with the artist over the last decade as well as three years of formal research and interview for the compilation of this picture biography. Easy and intimate, the text is enhanced by words from Sendak himself, who cooperated fully in the book's preparation.
The illustrations include a full-colour facsimile of the tiny mock-up that Sendak first made for the story that would later become Where the Wild Things Are. In addition, there are three full-colour fold-outs of illustrations from Sendak's books as they have never been seen before.
Here is a unique world of the imagination, from the line drawings of A Hole Is to Dig-Sendak's first major profes- sional assignment-to sketches for his latest picture book fantasy and recent designs for opera sets and animated films. The book also includes a generous selection of Sendak's early sketches and dummies for all his important works-small- scale renderings that trace the meticulous, creative process he undergoes with each book. These provide an insight into the e artist's mind as well as fascinating glimpses of his extraordi- narily varied technique.
This book covers the work-both published and heretofore unpublished-of Sendak's career to date. It is the first major retrospective study of the most important children's book illustrator of our time.
261 illustrations, including 94 plates in full colour, and 3 folding plates

LALIQUE
by Jessica Hodge
By any standards, Rene Lalique was an enormously talented and versatile man. However, it was in the area of jewelry design and glasswork that Lalique's greatest passion lay and where he would leave his most lasting gift.
At sixteen he got his first feel for jewelry work while apprenticed to a Paris jeweler before moving to London's Sydenham College in 1878, where he studied for two years. After returning home and taking over a small work- shop in Paris, Lalique began designing pieces for the actress Sarah Bernhardt for use in her stage productions.
In theater, the artist was no longer tied to conventional demands and as a result began to use more unusual materials such as glass, semi-precious stones, and less expensive metals. Lalique's pieces were stunning and unique.
But with fame, came imitators and the genius became secretive. To this day, the composition of the pearly opalescent glass, which became one of his trademarks, remains a mystery. To defy those who copied him, Lalique sought new cre- ative outlets and settled on a glassworks studio, in 1909, where he began experimenting with pate-de-verre and cire perdue in his doors and lampshades. Once a pioneer of Art Nouveau, Lalique had effortlessly entered the world of Art Deco, a genre in which squares and rectangles replaced the circular and linear.
Illustrated with a wealth of vivid photographs, Lalique beautifully presents a rich selection of the pieces created throughout the career of one of the world's most ingenious artists.
Jessica Hodge was born in Essex, Great Britain, and brought up in London. Her father, Alan Hodge, was one of the founding editors of the magazine History Today, and her mother is the historical novelist Jane Aitken Hodge. Jessica gained a degree in Modern History from the University of Oxford and has since worked as an editor. She has contributed to a number of publications, including The New Illustrated Everyman's Encylcopedia and has also written an introduction to the work of graphic artist M. C. Escher.

Lighthouses Of Southern Africa
The Lexolan Book of Lighthouses was commissioned by Roche Products (Pty) Ltd as the fitting culmination to an extremely successful promotional campaign.
Lexotan positions itself as the leading light in anxiolytic therapy and as a result a campaign was developed revolving around the Lighthouses of Southern Africa. The first calendar campaign, done in 1991, proved so successful with both medical practitioners and the media (Spada Merit Award), that a new Lighthouse calendar and campaign was developed for 1992. Again, it was extremely successful, winning the Spada (medical category) and creating top of mind awareness for Lexotan among medical practitioners.
The development of a coffee-table book was therefore a natural conclusion, especially as the Lighthouses of Southern Africa were a subject not many people knew about. And the response and comments which the campaigns generated, indicated that it was a subject which held a great deal of interest. It was also the ideal opportunity to preserve the magnificent pho- tographs taken by top professional photographer Mike Crewe-Brown.
The Lighthouses of Southern Africa is more than just a book about lighthouses, it tells a story of the rich maritime history of our shores, a history filled with tales of bravery, foolishness and sunken treasures. A record of the past and a tribute to those lights which shine brightly both to warn sailors of hidden dangers and to welcome them home.

The Stars Bear Witness
by Bernard Goldstein
1st Edition 1950
Most of Bernard Goldstein's first sixty years were spent in active revolutionary service, first against the Russian Czar, and then against the semi-fascist Polish government. In independent Poland he organized an illegal militia, and his efforts made him an almost legendary hero for the harassed Jews. His active leadership before the war and his position in the Jewish underground during it qualify him as the chronicler of the last hours of Warsaw's Jews. Out of the tortured memories of those five years he has brought forth the picture with all its shadings--the good with the bad, the cowardly with the heroic, the disgraceful with the glorious. This is his valedictory, his final service to the Jews of Warsaw. This book is his clear, dignified, factual, and moving account of what happened to him and what happened to his people and his doomed community: the fabric of their lives; the forces working for and against them; the heroic if unsuccessful uprising, the raids, the deportations, the bunkers.

The Reincarnation Of Edgar Cayce?
Interdimensional Communication & Global Transformation
by Wynn Free with David Wilcock
Discover the legacy of the most famous psychic of the 20th-century in this stirring exploration of psychic abilities, reincarnation, and other paranormal phenomena
There are remarkable parallels between the work of David Wilcock and Edgar Cayce—the legendary clairvoyant, ‘sleeping prophet’, and ‘father of holistic medicine’. Here, author Wynn Free explores these parallels, building a convincing case that the two men shared the same source of prophetic information—and that Wilcock might indeed be Cayce’s reincarnation.
Compiling some of Wilcock’s most inspirational and life-transforming prophetic guidance from his channeled Source, this book conveys profound insights into topics such as earth changes, secret cabals, soul evolution, death and reincarnation, ascension, crop circles, and the theory of evolution. Explaining how energetic increases occurring in the Sun and planets can have scientifically-measurable, far-reaching effects in a number of realms, The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce presents new evidence that this energy can transform DNA, potentially making ESP, telekinesis, levitation, and other paranormal activities as common as breathing and usher in the Golden Age promised by every major spiritual tradition in human history. Readers will come away with a deeper understanding not only of the life and work of both Wilcock and Cayce, but with a broader sense of the many forces—seen and unseen—at work in the universe today.
