1. This item took a long time to get here...I believe it was on back-order at first. It was nicely packaged and made a wonderful gift for a traveling watercolor artist.

2 comments about Van Gogh: Colour Library (Phaidon Colour Library).

1. A beautiful book!!! A must have for those who are fascinated with Vincent Van Gogh!



2. I have been looking for a book on Mr. Van Gogh for quite some time that successfully conveys the texture and vivid color that he uses. This book gave me everything that i had been looking for. The "colour library" series that it is a part of is filled with other volumes that depict paintings by various artists in the glory that they were meant to, stopping just short of the vividness of seeing the actual painting in a museum. Not only are they wonderfully done, but they are a steal at the low price they are selling for. While most art books out there cost you an arm and a leg, these volumes give you pure beauty at a very low price.

5 comments about Sorayama 1964-1999: The Complete Works of Hajime Sorayama.

1. This artist is beyond discription, and this collection is just a slice of the Sorayama pie. Mostly consisting of high quality erotica, there is also a lot of fantasy illustrations, and work he's done for ads(Fed Ex, Delta, Sekio). The varity of the work is just amazing. I love ths book!!!!



2. don't waste your money on a cheap paper with awful reproduction of colors.



3. Great compilation of work however, the size of the book does not do any justice to the art.



4. Sorayama's technical mastery of the colors, airbrush are overwhelming. His attention to detail is mind boggling, the subject of the pages is from American West to Chrome Fem-bots, to fetish renderings of bondage, piercing, mermaids, body builders, et al. Not for the prissy or Victorians. Subject matter aside, the quality of his work is flawless. There is a collection of his advertizing copy along with is art. His client list is impressive. However this book's paper quality leaves something to be desired along with the sizes of the pages. I consider this a sampler before I invested in the larger glossy coffee table sized books. Check out the Betty Page, and Ms. Monroe pages. Ichiban! , Arigato Sorayama-sama.



5. Wow, this book is a marvelous summary of all of Sorayama's work. Though a little small in this book, his work is revolutionary. Comparable to Olivia, his lifelike work is just superb. Be sure to check it out.

2 comments about The Bedford Hours (Medieval Manuscripts in the British Libr Series).

1. I am very pleased with the illuminations in this book. A good source for my work.



2. Like most of Janet Backhouse's work, this is an excellent, concise study of a particular manuscript in the collection of the British Library.

   This particular manuscript is a 15th c. book of hours, commissioned from a Parisian workshop by John, Duke of Bedford.

   The text reads easily. Ms. Backhouse covers a short history of the Duke, to place the book in context, and follows with a modestly comprehensive study of the book as an art object.

   The book contains around 60 plates, some in black and white, some in color. There are about as many full page illustrations as there are text pages, so the book makes a very suitable visual reference for book artists wanting to illuminate in the style of the Bedford Master.

   All in all, a very nice, short study of a justifiably famous medieval manuscript.
