Johannes Vermeer

Arthur K. Wheelock, Ben Broos

Natl Gallery of Art, 1995

Perfection on a canvas and in a book to take home
The year was 1995. The place was the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. The occasion was the exhibit of 21 of the known three dozen paintings by Johannes Vermeer, Dutch master of the seventeenth century. I missed the exhibit, too, but I have this 12 x 9 1/2 ...

Alexander Calder, 1898-1976: 1898-1976

Marla Prather, Alexander Calder, ...

Natl Gallery of Art, 1998

Caulder 5 stars, Publication 5 stars, Writing Style 3.
Calders work leaves me speachless and in its place... inspired, to do more, better. The book(hardcover)itself is beautifully bound and constructed of the highest quality materials, making it a delight to page through. The writing style is rigid and impersonal. Perhaps ...

Jan Steen, Painter and Storyteller

H. Perry Chapman, W. th Kloek, ...

Natl Gallery of Art, 1996

Great Introduction
This painter was an amazing combination of excellent artist, sarcastic and humorous person, and historian -- he painted what he saw - and each tells a story. This book helps guide you through it and points out things in his paintings that I would have missed.

Millennium of Glory: Sculpture of Angkor and Ancient Cambodia

Most beautiful current book on Khmer sculpture

O'Keeffe on Paper

Ruth E. Fine, Elizabeth Glassman, ...

A wonderful change.
This book is outstanding. It provides the reader, or viewer, with the opportunity to enjoy and study many of O'Keeffe's works, in watercolor, pastels, and charcoal drawings. I was very satisfied with my choice. I searched and searched for a book that contained works ...

Winslow Homer Watercolors

Helen A. Cooper

In Awe of Homer
Since seeing a show of Winslow Homer's works a few years ago, I have been in awe of this artist's talent and versatility. So it was natural for me to pick up this beautiful and informative book which focuses on his watercolor career. In addition, the author gives us ...

An Amazing Book
My wife and I were looking for a Thomas Moran book with LOTS of reproductions of his pictures. This book appeared to be what we were looking for. I had Amazon find a copy for me and I gave it to my wife as a birthday present. It was perfect. Lots of reproductions. ...

Edo, Art in Japan 1615-1868

Robert T. Singer, John T. Carpenter, ...

Natl Gallery of Art, 1998

Have seen the show. See 12/1/98 Wall Street Journal.
The show is spectacular (check the review in the 12/1/98 Wall Street Journal), and the book (actually an expanded catalogue of the show that approaches being an art history text) is hefty and scholarly. It would seem a "must have" for serious students/afficionados of ...

Picasso--The Early Years, 1892-1906
Pablo Picasso, Marilyn McCully, ...

Natl Gallery of Art, 1997

This magnificent book focuses on Picasso`s early work-paintings influenced by the artist`s close allegiance with the Catalan modernista movement, art of his Blue and Rose periods, and the 1906 series of drawings and paintings he devoted to the male and female nude. The authors examine these compelling works from various points of view and place ...
