Cute Spice and Wolf art book. Purchased at a convention since I loved the show, but did not like the content of the art book much. This book includes suggestive /slightly NSFW art of Holo. It’s nothing super graphic; if you’ve seen the anime, you’ll understand. I only included photos of the family friendly art. NOT FOR CHILDREN.

Widely acknowledged in his time as a premier painter of still life and genre scenes, Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin (1699–1779) created unsentimentalized works that appeal to viewers today for their richness of feeling and simplicity of composition. This sumptuously illustrated book reproduces in full color 99 of Chardin’s works and arranges them around five themes: Chardin’s Beginnings and His First Still Lifes, Utensils and Household Objects, Genre Scenes, Chardin’s Return to Still Life, and Pastels.

The contributors to the volume explore Chardin’s work from many different angles, including the latest thinking on such lesser-known facets of his life and work as his use of ceramics and glass, his financial and property affairs, and the complex history of engravings of his paintings. Each of the five sections of the book has an introduction and a selection of Chardin’s paintings accompanied on facing pages by complete provenance, exhibition, and bibliographic information. The book also offers an extensive Chardin biography, an index of names and places, and an index of works.

Perceptual drawing, in which one renders the physical world as it appears to an observer, is the focus of this new text for the introductory drawing course. With an emphasis on progressive skill development, Drawing from Observation offers a balanced mix of hands-on technique and perceptual theory while making a compelling argument for the long-term value of studying perception-based drawing.

A Cajun Artist

"George Rodrigue's paintings and prints of that intriguing canine known as Blue Dog have brought him international renown. Exhibited from Japan to Germany and across America, the golden-eyed Blue Dog is fast becoming a contemporary icon. George Rodrigue: A Cajun Artist is the first major monograph on the artist and surveys his career from student days in the early 1960s to the present. The book explores his artistic education, aesthetic principles, and Cajun legacy, and presents a broad survey of the various stages of his career, with concentration on his Cajun period and the development and fruition of the Blue Dog story." "Born in New Iberia, Louisiana, in 1944, George Rodrigue is a scion of Cajun culture. Stricken with polio as a child and bedridden for months, he took up painting and drawing to pass the time. He showed himself to be a masterful draftsman. His talent was recognized immediately, and he was encouraged by his parents and teachers. From the University of Southwest Louisiana he went on to Los Angeles to continue his studies. He explored abstraction and his own brand of Pop Art, but wanting to find his own artistic vision he returned to Louisiana, to his roots, with the intention of expressing something of his Cajun background and the Cajun way of life - which he sensed was on the wane. He hoped that by rendering that twilight world and exile culture he could make his own unique contribution to art." "He began by painting bayou landscapes and established the oak tree as a profound symbol of the Cajun world. From there he moved on to painting scenes of Cajun life, a sort of floating world of a nonetheless cohesive community. He captured its ghostlike essence before it was tainted by the ersatz culture that was fast encroaching upon it."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
