Crisp, as new book. Library edition but NOT an ex-lib. Absolutely pristine. We love the Abbeville Kids art books in this series and this one is no exception. No only does it impart information about artists and their interpretations of cities, but it also provides activities and questions that open doors to new understanding of how art is made. The art is in full color and just beautiful throughout. This one's a keeper. Measures 8-1/2"x9" View More...

Very nice clean booklet in the German language about Japanese art. I ran the title through Google translation, but it came out The Seven Glucksgotters.The only way I would know what this booklet is about is the photos and drawings of various art items from Japan. The booklet measures 7-1/4" x 10-1/4" and has 41 pages, most of which are at the back of the booklet View More...
This is not just a book about Harvey Dinnerstein and his artistic work, it's also Harvey Dinnerstein sharing his techniques with would-be artists. He discusses drawings, oil painting, the studio, evolving pictorial ideas, the work in progress, and more. The best of all though is the "Work In Prrogress" for which he paints a simple image and changes it by aplying a new process to the work. And then there's another change and another one until all become steps to get to the last and most beautiful picture..The book has been nicely cared for -- I bought it from the estate of a local artist who ...
