5-0 out of 5 stars HRH The Prince of Wales Watercolours: An Inspiring Book
This delightful book is a treat for those who have an interest in art, England, or for those who simply wish to understand the mind of Prince Charles a little better. Far more than any biography, this book will give you an insight into the artistic mind of the Prince of Wales, as well as enlighten you to the way he feels about the environment, his country, and the World beyond England. The book follows His Highness through his many travels hither and thither around the world, including his travels in Scotland, Italy, Spain, and the Middle East. There are 73 beautiful color examples of Prince Charles's work selected by him. For an "amateur", as the Prince so calls himself, his work reflects the fact that His Highness has put his all into these works, and he has tremendous talent in the watercolour medium. Each of the 73 color plates in this book also are accompanied by Prince Charles's personal experiences while painting the picture. Some of these experiences appear soul-stirring and patriotic; for example his painting entitled View of Double Haven Bay from HMY Britannia. Then there are some phrases throughout the book that are quite humourous. Such as this line from page 38.."I was sitting on a grass slope amongst a large quantity of sheep droppings with my back beginning to give out and with pins and needles in my bottom!" Similar examples of the Prince's humor are all throughout the book. He also addresses some of the problems he had along the way with his artwork, such as rain and the "gentlemen of the press" getting in the way of artistic expression! On the whole, this is a wonderful book that will inspire you with its artwork, and keep you laughing along the way as well with bits of Prince Charles's humor. His rather humble attitude towards his work is understandable, given his position in life. However, His Highness must indeed feel a hint of pride for producing such lovely scenes on paper. I only hope that Prince Charles will eventually publish more of his artwork, for it certainly deserves to reach a wider audience. I highly recommend this book. It is certainly a "must-read" in my library! ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Master of Atmosphere
The watercolors of JMW Turner have the concise, simplified vision of contemporary art even though they were painted in the mid 1800's. This survey shows the progression of this master of light and delicate color from tightly delineated landscapes to the atmospheric , nearly abstract vistas of his late career. The reproductions are supported by quotes selected from writings contemporary to the paintings. This book provides an inspirational overview of the work of Turner and belongs in the library of the serious watercolor artist. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars GORGEOUS coffee table book with informative text
This book is GORGEOUS! It is a hardcover accordian-style book in a hardcover slipcase (VERY impressive and classy looking) with gorgeous watercolors on each page. The text describes each respective type of crane. It is beautifully written, helpful and informative for everyone who loves cranes (Asian symbol of longevity, and known to mate for life). I can't imagine anyone who enjoys beautiful things not loving this book. Because of the aforementioned symbolism, it would make a meaningful wedding gift, anniversary present, or birthday gift (especially for one getting on in years). ... Read more

Hauntingly romantic, the 28 recently discovered watercolors featured in Intimate Landscapes were created by a twentysomething Georgia O'Keeffe when she first moved to the American Southwest to teach art. This stunning volume, which measures only 7 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches, is essential for any O'Keeffe fan. The beautifully reproduced images convey the glory of the Southwest in vivid reds, purples, and golds, revealing the astonishing potency of the young artist's emerging vision. Not only do these works highlight an important period in O'Keeffe's early career and represent a turning point in her personal style, but they also clearly depict her intense relationship with nature. Accompanying the paintings are excerpts from O'Keeffe's letters and writings, as well as musings by such luminaries as Willa Cather and Wassily Kandinsky. The remarkable paintings work on two levels: they present a stirring vision of the majesty of a vast landscape while simultaneously delving into intimate personal territory. For the first time we see the solitude and meditation that characterize much of O'Keeffe's later work. ... Read more

Exquisite book - captured my daughter's heart (10 yrs old) when we were waiting for dinner to be served at a B&B in Galisteo N.M. While not O'Keeffe's most famous works, this is an intimate book, with poems. Would love to find one for her. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars 28 Watercolors
Georgia O'Keeffe always said that she was impatient with visual clutter; that she wanted to get rid of details that got in the way of real meanings; and that abstract painting could deal with concepts, emotions, and ideas. The GEORGIA O'KEEFFE: CANYON SUITE watercolors are in fact among the earliest U.S. abstract art painted directly from nature. They include abstract images of natural phenomena, such as "Abstraction, Black and Blue," with lightning bolts and rain sheets through darkened sky and ground, "First Light on the Plains," with light haloing through the fuchsia and indigo night, "Gray Abstraction (Train/Desert)," with former motion stilled in trails against the sky, and "Light Coming on the Plains," with Japanese brushed color tones dragged spectacularly down by gravity and water; recognizable subject matter, such as "Red House/Fence & Door" and her rare "Standing Nude," with the body invaded by the background colors and therefore like one of Auguste Rodin's blurred watercolor nudes; and traditional landscapes, such as "Blue Hills," "Dark Mesa," and "Purple Mountain." Editor Barbara J. Bloemink's text gives helpful background to understanding the artist and the color plates, and to reading Benita Eisler's O'KEEFFE AND STIEGLITZ and Roxana Robinson's GEORGIA O'KEEFFE. The same interest in colors and shapes, but differently treated, shows through FRIDA KAHLO's art, particularly in the books by Hayden Herrera, Raquel Tibol, and Martha Zamora. ... Read more

Turner on the Seine brings together all the watercolor sketches the artist made for his 1834 book of views of the River Seine, together with hundreds of black-and-white related images. It constitutes a companion volume to Ian Warrell's Turner on the Loire, the painter's other river-views project, and it is every bit as handsome. The range of visual styles impresses the viewer, along with the compositional perfection and luminous sense of light that Turner demonstrates. Some of these images carry the mark of classic Turner, but others would not look out of place in a collection of impressionist paintings; it is not surprising to learn that Pissarro and Monet admired these images enormously. Others still seem even more modern, as with the near-abstract Sail Boat at Rouen; in some, the pen work overlaying the watercolor strokes resembles the work of the most proficient illustrators, like Paul Hogarth.

It is hard to imagine an art book having higher production standards than this. The text is informative and sharply written; there is something to delight the eye on every page in black and white or color; and the reproduction of the plates is exquisite, particularly in the precision of the blue inks. --Adam Roberts, Amazon.co.uk ...
