Indiana

Portraits of Indiana's 92 Counties

Painting Indiana represents the best work of a new group of Hoosier artists. It was commissioned by the Indiana Plein Air Painters Association to document the state's beauty at the threshold of the new millennium. Each artist was assigned a group of counties; all 92 counties are included in the book. These contemporary painters are moved by the same spirit as the renowned Hoosier Group, which included artists like T. C. Steele and J. Ottis Adams, who painted Indiana at the close of the 19th and early part of the 20th centuries. Each artist comments briefly on his work, and Earl L. Conn provides short histories of each county, filled with fascinating anecdotes and little-known facts as well as the standard version of county history.

George. Orwell

Paperback (1 to 2 lbs)

A beautiful graphic adaptation of George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel.



"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."



In 1945, George Orwell, called "the conscience of his generation," created an enduring, devastating story of new tyranny replacing old, and power corrupting even the noblest of causes. Today it is all too clear that Orwell's masterpiece is still fiercely relevant wherever cults of personality thrive, truths are twisted by those in power, and freedom is under attack. In this fully authorized edition, the artist Odyr translates the world and message of Animal Farm into a gorgeously imagined graphic novel.



Old Major, Napoleon, Squealer, Snowball, Boxer, and all the creatures of Animal Farm come to life in this newly envisaged classic. From his individual brushstrokes to the freedom of his page design, Odyr's adaptation seamlessly moves between satire and fable and will appeal to all ages, just as Orwell intended.

A beautiful collection of collage art and techniques exploring the theme of home
In This House showcases a collaborative art project that explores innovative altered art and collage techniques by top mixed media artists. Using the theme of "home," each artist designed five altered art rooms to complete an individual 9"x12" 'house' that closes like a book or can stand accordion style. Each house is a part of a larger whole; a neighborhood of twelve unique and fascinating art-full houses, varying in execution, theme, and style, yet united as part of the larger neighborhood. Each "house" is a unique interpretation on the theme, reflecting the artist's style and incorporating the mixed media techniques for which each artist is most well known. The thirteen artists have created an inspiring collage technique workbook for readers. The back of the book includes a blank "house" template and a clip-art gallery of home-themed imagery that readers can alter and use in their own collage work.

Fairyloot Special Edition

An instant New York Times bestseller!

Love and duty collide in this richly imagined, atmospheric young adult debut about a witch whose dark powers put her at the center of a brewing war between the only family she's ever known and the enemy who makes her question everything.

Monster. Butcher. Bloodwinn.

Ranka is tired of death. All she wants now is to be left alone, living out her days in Witchik's wild north with the coven that raised her, attempting to forget the horrors of her past. But when she is named Bloodwinn, the next treaty bride to the human kingdom of Isodal, her coven sends her south with a single directive: kill him. Easy enough, for a blood-witch whose magic compels her to kill.

Except the prince is gentle, kind, and terrified of her. He doesn't want to marry Ranka; he doesn't want to be king at all. And it's his sister--the wickedly smart, infuriatingly beautiful Princess Aramis--who seems to be the real threat.

But when witches start turning up dead, murdered by a mysterious, magical plague, Aramis makes Ranka an offer: help her develop a cure, and in return, she'll help Ranka learn to contain her deadly magic. As the coup draws nearer and the plague spreads, Ranka is forced to question everything she thought she knew about her power, her past, and who she's meant to fight for. Soon, she will have to decide between the coven that raised her and the princess who sees beyond the monster they shaped her to be.

But as the bodies pile up, a monster may be exactly what they need.

#hardcover #art #nonfiction Description
Margot Peet was nearly 90 when an art historian interviewed her about studying with the iconic artist Thomas Hart Benton six decades earlier. Knowing Mrs. Peet to be a museum patron and socialite who painted for pleasure, the scholar was surprised to discover that she was also a gifted artist of exceptional talent and achievement, yet unknown outside of her lifelong home, Kansas City. To some, Kansas City seems an unlikely place for artistic genius, a town spawned by riverboats and railroads. Though ignored by savants on the East and West Coasts, it has played important roles in the history of art in America and it thrives as a cultural capital of the Middle West. Discovering Margot Peet, The Artist and the Art World of Kansas City writes the record on both counts and in two narratives one about the person, the other about her milieu. Marianne Berardi s critical biography recounts the life and appraises the oeuvre of this unsung genius, a woman of parts. Margot Peet s love of painting was nurtured by a favorite aunt, and later by three notable teachers, the last and the most influential of them Tom Benton, then America s most famous artist. Peet combined both discipline and her innate gifts to work brilliantly in oil, watercolor and pastel. A grande dame and a mother, she was driven to make art both by boredom with her status and by despair over a private tragedy that has driven other women to distraction. By definition an amateur (she rarely sold her pictures), Margot Peet created deft portraits, sublime garden landscapes and vibrant floral still-lifes that display the highest degree of excellence and finish, as Dr. Berardi writes. All this in Kansas City, her font and inspiration not the farming hub and corny setting of musical comedy, but a dynamic metropolis whose early 20th-century civic leaders made a cosmopolitan oasis on the edge of the prairie in America s heartland. Henry Adams s authoritative appreciation of Kansas City gives this neglected cultural capital the overdue credit it deserves as a portal of art history in America and a cradle of our culture. Having nurtured superstars from Jean Harlow to Walt Disney, as well as such writers as Ernest Hemingway, Calvin Trillin, Evan S. Connell and Richard Rhodes, Kansas City was home to artists Frederic Remington, George Caleb Bingham and Thomas Hart Benton (among others). In the 20th century it became a center of world art in its museums, most notably the Nelson-Atkins, indisputably one of the most distinguished art institutions between the Coasts. The Nelson-Adkins Museum of Art counts among its treasures the finest array of Chinese art and objects outside of China in addition to important European and American collections. Margot Peet and 20th-century Kansas City fit hand in glove. Or to put it precisely, the city s cultural climate in both its hothouse society and hardscrabble nonconformity provided the perfect environment for this gifted woman who overcame heartbreak, created art for the love of it, and become an unforgettable painter with a brilliant color sense and starched sensitivity. Both the artist and her milieu are revealed in this double-barreled book of singular distinction, which was printed in exquisite color by a press in Hong Kong. Designed by the distinguished bookman Robert L. Wiser who has produced prizewinning volumes for Library of Congress, Smithsonian and Freer/Sackler Galleries as well as for Chronicle, Abrams, Abbeville, Rizzoli and other trade publishers, Discovering Margot Peet features 150 illustrations, a bibliography and full index.

#nonfiction #art #hardcover shrink wrapped- Inspired by performance art and by the power of subtraction to find absolute beauty, Seiju Toda created a series of 33 compositions called Heian, a term meaning peace and serenity. A leading art director and graphic designer, Toda has been featured in more than 20 solo exhibtions in the US and Japan.

Heian: Compositions by Seiju Toda

Inspired by performance art and by the power of subtraction to find absolute beauty, Seiju Toda created a series of 33 compositions called Heian, a term meaning peace and serenity. In a meticulous process that took several years, Toda both assembled the pieces using plain wood and living creatures - birds, fish, insects, reptiles - and directed the photography with careful consideration for the natural elements. The result is a work of art unto itself; designed by the artist, printed on beautiful paper, intriguing, amusing, tranquil and pure.
