Hardcover. Condizione: Used - Very Good. When you think of the American Southwest, it isn t the towns that initially come to mind. Rather, it s the incredible landscape: carved-out chasms, towering red rocks, and dramatic desert expanses. But you shouldn t miss the beautiful old towns the clusters of adobe houses around Spanish-style plazas and the rows of Victorian miners cottages that still cling to precipitous hillsides. Many of these communities started as remote outposts, then flourished in a burst of riches, only to fade again. Today the Southwest is a region of energetic growth and multicultural vitality, and its quaint towns are enjoying renewed attention as their rich history, striking settings, and distinctive architecture attract Americans touring their homeland s picturesque byways as well as visitors from around the world. Nik Wheeler s stunning photography and Joan Tapper s perceptive commentaries celebrate the beauty and heritage of thirty special communities in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and western Colorado. They range from tiny villages of a few hundred people to towns of as much as 40,000, but most are the kind of place where a chance conversation still opens doors: Bisbee, Spring City, Truchas, Tubac, Tombstone, Cimarron, Silverton, Ouray, Winnemucca, Moab, Sedona, and so many more. From pueblos to Victorian storefronts to ski resorts, this vision of the Southwest evokes both America's frontier heritage and the expansive vistas of its future through profiles of 30 special communities. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.

Hardcover. Condizione: Used - Very Good. Realism has played an important role in art history ever since the discovery of perspective. Here, John Russell Taylor delineates the artist's endeavor to re-create the smallest detail, from centuries before the invention of photography to the present day. This book has been published to complement a series of shows called 'Exactitude' at London's Plus One Gallery of contemporary artists working in a figurative, hyperrealist style. The diversity of such works, whether still lifes, extreme close-ups, large-scale cityscapes, landscapes, or commercial packaging, is revealed. The artists, including Pedro Campos, Clive Head, Ben Johnson, David Ligare, Cynthia Poole, John Salt, Cesar Santander, Ben Schonzeit, and Tjalf Sparnaay, come from all over the world but are united here by their meticulous approach to their work whether they are depicting people, American diners, book spines, or car engines. Essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary art in the twenty-first century. BEAUTIFUL COPY!!! wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector. …
