2 comments about The Imprint of Place: Maine Printmaking 1800-2005.

1. David Becker has written a wonderfully comprehensible book about a subject that is very broad. To be able to discuss so well such a variety of printmaking techniques, styles and skills over a long period of time is no easy task. He detects and explains commonalities when that is warranted, but does not stretch the point to fit the title of the book. The book is thoughtful and appreciative but not chauvinistic. It is also readable while being scholarly. The color illustrations are beautiful and true. This is a great book for anyone who cares about printmaking, Art history or Maine.



2. While THE IMPRINT OF PLACE: MAINE PRINTMAKING 1800-2005 would initially seem to be of very narrow regional interest, in reality it deserves a place in the holdings of any art library collection strong in printmaking representations. It represents a catalog celebrating some 200 years of printmaking with a large collaborative fine-arts project embracing a series of exhibitions and education programs, and as such provides the first chronological survey of the subject, standing as well alone as it does with the exhibit.

1. Vulis created a timeless erotic classic with this work. Wonderful, full-page black and white natural images of beautiful young women adorn the contents of this masterful art piece. The splendor of each model is glorified in full-frontal glory within each seated-in-chair shot. A variety of spectacular girls-next-door are artfully displayed in the best female nude study of all time. Outstanding collector's item!

1. The pictures in the book are fantastic. It shows many if not all of the decals used by Universal Potteries. Would have liked more information as to what pieces were available in differant patterns.

1 comments about Rosemarie Trockel: Post-Menopause.

1. I thought this book was about post-menopause. It turns out to be a very expensive book on objects. There was not anything in the book about menopause. I think Amazon should take this book out of this category. After spending $45, the book can only by placed in the garbage!!!!
   I gave it one star only because I had to rate it.

1 comments about Royal Copenhagen Porcelain: Animals and Figurines.

1. Wonderfully illustrated and very thorough, but difficult to follow. There was more information about each piece and the history of it than I ever expected. Only complaint is that the information is broken up in different tables in the front and in the back; ButI learned a lot about figurines and the history of Royal Copenhagen from this informative book.
