Jeffrey Chipps Smith

These beautifully illustrated books by leading experts focus on major paintings, sculptures, and objects from the Kimbell's outstanding permanent collection. Each volume presents the latest advances in scholarship and new insights of interest both to specialists and to the wider public.
Virtually unknown until recently, the Kimbell Virgin and Child (1486) is arguably the finest surviving example of the silver religious statuary so prized in pre-Reformation Germany, where patrons valued the art of the goldsmith even above painting and sculpture. Made for Wilhelm von Reichenau, a powerful Franconian bishop of Eichstätt, the statuette came onto the market when church property was secularized in the early 19th century and was long owned by the Rothschild family.
This handsome book is the first to examine this exquisite object and its fascinating history. Distinguished scholar Jeffrey Chipps Smith looks at the creation of the statuette in Augsburg, its place in the context of other works of art in Eichstätt, and the compelling story of Bishop Reichenau and his intense devotion to the Virgin Mary.

Masterpieces of British Art from The Tate Gal

An important exhibition of "British Festival 98" from the Tate Gallery collection in London

As a British Ambassador, I am pleased to announce that this is an introduction to the masterpieces of British painting.

This exhibition is the core event of "British Festival 98" in Japan.

The two venues will be held first at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum in Ueno and then at the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Modern Art in Kobe.

The Tate Gallery is a collection of British works from the 16th century to the present day.

A national museum with a collection of international art from the 20th century.

For this exhibition, 100 masterpieces that give an overview of the history of British painting over the past 400 years have been selected.

Among them, this time it is said to be one of the best masterpieces of British painting.

Also included is J.E. Millet's "Ofelia".

Indeed, this is the first time that British painting has been introduced to Japan on such a scale.

This wonderful exhibition will be an ideal line for Japanese people to learn about the history of British painting.

Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Gollection

From the collection of Carmen-Thyssen-Renemissa Man Sleeping Tenjin, a world-renowned art collector

Introducing selected masterpieces centered on landscape paintings.

Many of his collections are now in Madrid, Spain

It is on display at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum of Art.

Her wife was influenced by the Baron, an avid collector of her ancestors. She started collecting practical products in the 1950s.

The collection built with excellent aesthetics uses Impressionism and expressive fungi.

Already over 600 points

19th century wood Spanish exhibition, which has rarely been released until now

Many of the important works in art history such as Monet, Picasso, Kandinsky, and Nolde have cooled down and are attracting attention from the world.

"It is a true collector's duty to share the wonderfulness of the works I have collected with more friends."

By the belief of Baroness Carmen

For the first time in Japan, the collection was selected to be introduced in a cohesive form.

We hope that you will enjoy the charm of unknown masterpieces, including landscape paintings that will wash your heart.

The Art and the Story of the World's Best-Loved Comic Strip

Will Charlie Brown ever get to kick the footballs? Will Schroeder finally return Lucy's love? Will Linus give up his security blanket? Will Peppermint Party ever pass a test? And, most importantly will Snoopy--that canine literary ace--ever be published?

"To take a blank piece of paper and draw characters that people love and worry about is extremely satisfying. It really does not matter what you are called or where your work is placed as long as it brings some kind of joy to some person some place."

-- Charles Schulz

Peanuts: A Golden Celebration honors the momentous 50th anniversary of Charlie Brown and the gang with over 1,000 carefully selected strips that tell the story of Peanutslike no other book before. In Schulz's own words we learn how he came to create the world's most popular comic strip characters from nostalgic and sometimes painful memories of growing up--such as the agony of classroom Valentine exchange and the longing for a little red-haired girl.

From the debut of Peanuts on October 2, 1950, to the golden jubilee, here are fifty years of the favorite episodes and the..."firsts," such as the first time Lucy pulled the football away from Charlie Brown. Included are scenes from the beloved Charlie Brown television. specials and the latest revival of the Broadway musical, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

These are the strips and events that have made Peanuts an awesome phenomenon, appearing in 2,600 newspapers worldwide everyday. Not bad for a round-headed kid called Charlie Brown.

Let the celebration begin!
