Caution: If you like looking at lots of photographs of early 1960s designer dresses, you will probably like this book. Otherwise, this is probably not the right book for you.
During the presidential election of 1960, Ms. Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy made an immense impression on American society. At... more info

I first reviewed this when my son was five months. Now he is 3 years old, my daughter is 10 months, and we love our calendars more than ever!

Arguably the greatest Netherlands painter and draftsman of the 16th century, Pieter Bruegel was a well traveled artist. Documentation shows that between 1515 and 1553 he made an enviable journey through France and then to Italy. While in Rome he worked with a miniaturist, and was inspired by the... more info

I wished I would have caught this one here first. On tour this book is the full price, and the hard backs are scarce in supply. This book is beautifully bound, and uses high quality paper. This book contains many of the works of both Artemesia and her father. The book is geared more towards Artmesia... more info

I'm a rower in high school on the west coast, and you don't really hear much about rowing over here, since it's mostly an east coast sport. So when my history teacher started going over Thomas Eakins and showed a clip about him from a documentary with some examples of his rowing paintings, my... more info

as a painter and fan of both manet and velazquez, i found this weighty tome disappointing. the focus is heavily institutional, with separate lengthy chapters on the history of the prado (madrid) and the louvre (paris) and their collections and display policies. the tone is self congratulatory, with... more info

Customer Review:
This is an excellent photography book, but the clothing in here is mostly from the 80's and not my favorite era in terms of fashion. There is some wonderful clothes, and some terrible clothes. The information is great, tells of inspirations and what the particular piece was based on. The best parts... more info

An amazing account of a time and woman like no other. The Countess di Castiglione can be looked upon as a precursor to many artists that have explored self-portraiture, though her "art" captured her narcissism more than any underlying concept or expression. In beautiful costumes from her personal... more info
