Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Spirit Faces presents a collection of 75 masks, all in vivid colours by 23 of the best native North American artists working on the Northwest Coast today. These beautiful and powerful works of art reflect a culture rich in its relationships with the natural environment and its enduring mythology. They depict creatures - eagle, killer whale - as well as natural elements and forces - moon, weather - humans and supernatural beings, such as Thunderbird or Chief of the Undersea. Masks remain an important part of native ceremonial life on the Northwest Coast. They make the supernatural world visible, bringing it to life in dance dramas performed at feasts, potlatches (winter festivals) and ceremonies for secret societies. Some masks embody mythology or history. Others depict shamanic experiences, or are portrait masks that represent personal experiences. The most elaborate are transformation masks, used to display the transformation from one form to another when, at the high point of a dance, the dancer opens the outer mask to reveal another inside. Each mask is accompanied by the artist's own words describing its particular creation and meaning. Gary Wyatt, the Curator of the Northwest Coast collection at the Inuit Gallery of Vancouver, Canada, explains the importance, significance and ceremonial use of the masks, and outlines the place of art inside Northwest Coast societies as well as the place of Northwest Coast native art in the international art world. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The photographer Steve Bloom is off on another expedition, this time to see the animals living at the freezing poles: polar bears, penguins, whales and seals. The book follows Steve's journey as he finds out how these animals survive day to day - how they live, grow up, hunt and have babies. His on-location account and dramatic photography make for an exciting commentary. Each key animal - polar bear, whale, penguin, albatross and seal - appears in a 3/4-spread photograph and a 'close-up' box feature that introduces facts. Within the diary narrative, information and photographs are presented in a visually exciting way, from letting the reader watch how a baby penguin grows into an adult, to seeing a roll call of the different kinds of penguin. There are feature boxes throughout, with tips for children who want to take their own photos of animals, and at the back of the book there are two spreads further explaining how to photograph animals in the wild or at home. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Russell, Harriet (illustratore). This Book Thinks Youre an Artist is one of the rare books on the market to combine art history with practical activities on the page. It asks the reader to imagine their eccentric-artist alter-ego before working through six key topics: painting, sculpture, illustration, decorative art, photography and contemporary art. Each spread centres on a different technique for producing a piece of art, and relates the activity back to a famous artist or movement in a light-hearted and playful tone. Activities include making a Bruegel circus, playing a Surrealist game, selling a scribble for a million pounds and painting your face like a Russian Futurist. A section of paper-based crafts at the end of the book includes a kit to build a camera obscura. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Gainsborough is one of the most appealing artists of the eighteenth century. Renowned for such elegant portraits as The Blue Boy and Countess Howe, he also pioneered a new form of landscape with a moody sensibility that prefigured the Romantic movement. He was a brilliant draftsman, and his art is full of inventiveness and visual delight. William Vaughan draws on recently discovered material to provide a fresh perspective on both the life and art of this master. He shows how closely Gainsboroughs innovative manner can be connected to social and political developments in Britain, in particular the celebration of original genius in a time of burgeoning entrepreneurial commercialism. Above all, he demonstrates how, beneath the artists charm, there lay a bedrock of shrewd observation and pictorial intelligence that gives his work a value for all time.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Paul Cezanne a solitary genius who overcame opposition from his family, friends and the official Salon made painting the sole preoccupation of his life.

Here is his story, told in his own words, in those of his friends, and in the accolades of great artists, philosophers and critics. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
