Vitruvian Man is the worlds most famous drawing, by one of the worlds most famous artists. The image has become visual shorthand for artistic genius and scientific inquiry, and yet nobody knows anything about it. In it the author examines the forces that converged in 1490 to turn an idea that had been around for centuries into this iconic image, bringing the ghost of an unknown Leonardo da Vinci back to life. Populated by a colorful cast of characters, including Brunelleschi of the famous Dome, the book opens up a surprising window onto the artist and philosopher himself and the tumultuous intellectual and cultural transformations he bridged. Rooted in little-known episodes of the artists colourful career, and taking in ideas including theories of the cosmos, Roman land-surveying and the relationship between anatomy and architecture, the book tells the story of his evolving, lifelong study of the human body. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1731212 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1668134 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1682772 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1668285 101 Top Tips covers every detail, starting with preparation, materials, and finding inspiration, and going on to instruct in technique, composition, and color.

The angels on our Christmas cards, the stained glass in our churches, the great paintings in our galleries - Edward Burne-Joness work is all around us. The most admired British artist of his generation, he was a leading figure with Oscar Wilde in the aesthetic movement of the 1880s, inventing what became a widespread Burne-Jones look. The bridge between Victorian and modern art, he influenced not just his immediate circle but artists such as Klimt and Picasso. In this gripping book Fiona MacCarthy explores and re-evaluates his art and life - his battle against vicious public hostility, the romantic susceptibility to female beauty that would inspire his art and ruin his marriage, his ill health and depressive sensibility, the devastating rift with his great friend and collaborator William Morris as their views on art and politics diverged. With new research and fresh historical perspective, The Last Pre-Raphaelite tells the extraordinary, dramatic story of Burne-Jones as an artist, a key figure in Victorian society and a peculiarly captivating man. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1616317 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1682557 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1667622 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1630173 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1667912 An assessment of the life and work of Paul Czanne offers insight into his views about an artists role and his self-doubt about his own capabilities, demonstrating how his beliefs revolutionized the ways subsequent artists would see and depict the world. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1657421 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1687116 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1674374 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1674547 Teaches adults and older children the skills needed to write calligraphically in a range of modern and traditional styles, suitable for every greeting card and scrapbooking purposes.
