Heavy Hardcover (2 to 4 lbs)

"George Tooker first came to prominence for imaginative visions that expressed the uncertainity of the Cold War era. Over the past sixty years, using his own particular blend of figuration and abstraction, he has continued to create radiantly illuminated yet disquieting images. Imbued with moral, spiritual, and sensual power, they quietly demonstrate his passion for issues of social equality, and have garnered admiration from critics and peers alike for their acuity and virtuoso technique." "This book, the first representative overview of Tooker's work for thirty years, provides a much-deserved and comprehensive examination of the scope of his art. In essays comprising new research and offering fresh insights, it explores his passion for composition, his spirituality and his exploration of identity. Featuring superb reproductions of more than eighty of the artist's timeless images, the book also enables readers to see the unexpected ways in which Tooker's work echoes what has been considered avant garde in American art and to appreciate the depth of his resonant, prescient imagery. A major new study of one of America's most influential modern painters, George Tooker celebrates the lifetime achievement of an artist whose work subtly challenges conventinal prejudices and captures the essential mystery at the heart of the human experience."--BOOK JACKET.

A Feline Zodiac

Lesley Anne Ivory's new book combines her dual interests in astrology and cats, while the theme provides her with a wealth of imagery suggested by the rich pictorial symbolism of the zodiac. Each star sign is depicted in a beautiful painting and accompanied by a text which explains the astrological influences as they affect both humans and their feline friends. Numerous zodiacal devices decorate each painting: images of suns, moons, stars and elements, together with related attributes such as gemstones, flowers, fruits, herbs, spices and colours, and these are summarized in an illustrated 'key'. Lesley's devotion to her subjects and the rich colouring and extraordinary precision of the paintings combine to make this her most original and visually spectacular book to date.

The 13 Moons

American Anxieties is a brilliant, unorthodox portrait of the 1930s. Filler does what others have tried, but few have succeeded in accomplishing: he captures the continuity between the 1930s and the 1990s. He does this less by personal accounts or statistical comparisons, than by the emphasis upon a common core of concerns that link the recent past with the present in American society and culture.

The decade of the 1930s was unique in the history of the United States. The commercial order that prevailed from the Civil War to the Roaring Twenties, and had pervaded every aspect of American life, was reeling under the weight of a massive depression and a world made weary by militarism. The response was a rediscovery in America of the pioneer virtues of cooperation and solidarity.

American Anxieties provides a collective portrait of an era: that blend of fear, hope, excitement, anger, and joy that everyone who lived in that time will feel again; for those too young for that time, it links the 1990s with the emergence of a powerful black culture, studies on women by men and women, and the rediscovery on a large scale of ethnicity. Far from being a stereotypical statement of the "proletarian thirties," Filler's work is--in his own words, and in those of great writers of the time--a multicultural and multifaceted tool of broad pedagogical and personal use. Included in the volume are major writings of Albert Jay Nock, John Dewey, Edmund Wilson, Meyer Levin, Milton Hindus, John Dos Passos, S. J. Perelman, John Steinbeck, and many others.
