The fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries are stressed.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is divided into 12 chapters, each with a separate introduction. Most of the illustrations are collected in five of these chapters: Devils and Demons, including Belial, Beelzebub, and the Anti-Christ; Witches and Warlocks, their animals, forms, and rituals; The Danse Macabre, with the Dance of Death Alphabet by Holbein and representations of all classes leveled by the common force of death; Memento Mori, including a skull clock, a macabre representation of the Tree of Knowledge and Death, and the winged hourglass and scythe; and Religio-Political Devilry, the fight between the Papists and the Reformers, and symbols of devils in other political disputes. There are also chapters on the Fall of Lucifer, Faust and Mephistopheles, Hell and Damnation, The Apocalyptic Horsemen, Witch-Hunting, The Art of Dying, and Resurrection and Reckoning.\u003cbr\u003eAnyone curious about witchcraft, death, and devils will be interested in this book.

Larger numbers of women were not only working outside the home, they were also playing tennis and golf, and riding bicycles and horses.

Each medium or style he chose to master, no matter how solid or sculptural, can be seen as line disguised, metamorphic; as the labyrinth to which a single thread is the key. Theoretically, line is infinite; Picasso in his fertility nearly realized that theory in almost a century of ceaseless drawing, whether on paper, zinc, stone, or other media.\u003cbr\u003eHere is a sampling, rather than a comprehensive selection, from that plenitude; while nothing could be comprehensive within a single volume, the genius of Picasso's line manifests itself so clearly that this culling from various periods reveals the line in most of its guises.\u003cbr\u003eBeginning with a 1905 circus family in drypoint, 44 drawings cover Picasso's major themes, techniques, and styles. From the almost classic Ingresque clarity of the Diaghilev and Stravinsky portraits (1919, 1920) via cubist studies and \"neo-classical\" nudes, Picasso's restless hand remakes his world again and again with fresh energy, culminating here in six sketches of the artist\/model dashed out in raging love\/hate in the midst of personal crisis (1953–54). In between are times of serenity and introspection (\u003ci\u003eSeven Dancers\u003c\/i\u003e (1919), with the future Olga Picasso up front; many figures and bathers) and, particularity as book illustrations, many mythological studies; \u003ci\u003eEurydice Stung by a Serpent\u003c\/i\u003e (1930 etching), \u003ci\u003eDying Minotaur in the Arena\u003c\/i\u003e (1933), an etching for a 1934 edition of \u003ci\u003eLysistrata\u003c\/i\u003e.

The lithographic print medium suited and encouraged the artist's lifelong, often radical, obsession with stripping art to the marrow. The 40 plates reproduced here sample the pith of his lithographic production — a series produced in 1944, full of the eerie images and droll distortion he had sought on canvas for decades.\u003cbr\u003e\"It's never easy for me to talk about my painting,\" wrote Miró, \"since it is always born in a state of hallucination induced by some kind of shock, objective or subjective, for which I am not personally responsible in the least.\" Miró hallucinates on stone for these prints, filling them with monstrous beasts and one-eyed aliens adrift in a heaven of moons and stars and black nebulae, floating breasts and generative organs. These lithographs were executed shortly after finishing the famous \"constellation\" series of paintings (called by one critic \"the most intricate, most elaborately developed of all Miró's compositions\"), right around the time his mother died and he fired his first ceramics in collaboration with Artigas. Falling in a period of intense creative mingling of whimsy with the grotesque, these prints characterize an important juncture in Miró's career. They also enlarge the boundaries of lithographic technique as they simultaneously show Miró, now \"stripped\" of his brilliant colors, to be an equal master of black-and-white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDover Original.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Joan Miró","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159469736257,"sku":"9780486244372","price":4.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/files\/9780486244372.jpg?v=1720111979"},{"product_id":"9780486244952","title":"Old-Fashioned Homemade Ice Cream","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eI scream, you scream. we all scream for ice cream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eIt may be just a child's singsong verse, but there is an element of truth about it.

The Abenaki traditionally wore clothing made of soft tanned deerskin or moosehide, sometimes decorated with dyes or with complex embroidery of dyed porcupine quills and moose hair. By the late eighteenth century, however, the Abenaki had adopted certain of the settlers' garments, such as the men's shirt and the women's shift. Similarly, the settlers had begun to wear moccasins, leggings, and other Indian garments when it made sense in their daily lives.\u003cbr\u003eThe heart of this book is devoted to full descriptions and scaled patterns for specific garments. For women: shift, petticoat and skirt, gowns, neckerchief, apron, headgear, and more. Men's clothes include shirt, cravat and stock, breeches and breechcloth, waistcoat, coat, frock, and headgear. Also covered are men's and women's stockings, leggings, shoes, and moccasins.

This monument to costume illustration was reproduced by Emile Lévy in Paris between 1911 and 1914. Here are 64 of the finest plates from the Lévy edition, reproduced faithfully from the originals. Selected by costume historian Stella Blum, former Curator of Costumes at the Costume Institute of New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, they offer a splendid representation of French fashion in the late eighteenth century.\u003cbr\u003eThe great social, economic, and political changes of the turbulent period that led to the Revolution in 1789 were reflected in its fashions: the influence on traditional women's costume of the dress of servants and country women; the exotic costumes of actresses; and the simpler, more practical English styles. Men's fashions were also affected by the English as well as by the exaggerated Italianate fashions sported by foppish \"macaronis.\" Children's fashions include the one-piece \u003ci\u003emantelot,\u003c\/i\u003e interesting as a forerunner of the attire of the \u003ci\u003esans-culottes.\u003c\/i\u003e Special fashion terms, many of which have been obscured by time, are defined in a Glossary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eReissue of the 1982 Dover Original.\u003c\/div\u003e Costume history; Fashion history; Eighteenth-century costume; French costume; Marie Antoinette; 18th-century clothes; Galerie des Modes","brand":"Edited by Stella Blum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179442159937,"sku":"9780486243313","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/products\/9780486243313.jpg?v=1710194612"},{"product_id":"9780486266831","title":"Engraving Glass","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Lucidly written and illustrated.\" — \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Engraver\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you've ever admired the exquisite beauty and craftsmanship of Steuben, Tiffany, Orrefors, or other fine engraved glass and wished you could engrave glass yourself, this book is for you.

It remained for Dr. Jammer, noted scholar and historian of science, to trace the evolution of the idea of space in this comprehensive, thought-provoking study. The focus of the book is on physical, rather than metaphysical, ideas of space; however, philosophical or theological speculations are discussed when relevant. The author has also given special attention to the cultural settings in which the theories developed. \u003cbr\u003eFollowing a Foreword by Albert Einstein and an introductory chapter on the concept of space in antiquity, subsequent chapters consider Judaeo-Christian ideas about space, the emancipation of the space concept from Aristotelianism, Newton's concept of absolute space and the concept of space from the eighteenth century to the present. For this third edition, Dr. Jammer has contributed an extensive new chapter six, reviewing the numerous and profound changes in the philosophy of space since the publication of the second edition. \u003cbr\u003eAn abundance of meticulously documented quotations from original sources and numerous bibliographic references make this an exceptionally well-documented book.
