Denis Thomas
Van Gogh on Location

1994 y.
Publisher: Regency House Publishing Limited
Description: Many of the world`s greatest painters were landscape painters first and foremost. They responded strongly to particular locations, be they rural, mountain, river, coastal, or domestic. This book investigates the links between Van Gogh and the world around him, and in reviewing the paintings in terms of his response to particular scenes, both takes us on a tour through the artist`s life, and provides an invaluable perspective on his achievement. Van Gogh`s travels from his native Holland took him to Paris, to London, and into rural France, and finally to Aries. In the course of an increasingly tragic life, he developed an intensity of expression, to which the modern generation has responded in a very personal way. Van Gogh`s own dislocation mirrors the dislocation many feel in our own time, and his broad brush, strong colours, and broadly etched vision have a continuing appeal to urban generations seeking to regain a foothold in the countryside. Whether it be people,… [detailed...]

Van Gogh to Mondrian: Modern Art from the Kroller-Muller Museum

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe Kroller-Muller Museum is one of the great art collections in Europe, yet it remains unknown to many Americans because of its remote location in the Hoge Veluwe National Park in rural southeast Netherlands. This beautifully illustratedbook features highlights from the Museum?s collection of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century art, including more than a score of works by Vincent van Gogh. The Museum is the result of the passion of a singular collector: Helene Kroller-Muller (1869?1939). The wife of a Dutch shipping magnate, she used almost unlimited funds to amass an astounding collection in a short period of time. Beginning in the 1910s, she collected voraciously?not only Van Gogh but Neo-Impressionist masters Seurat, Signac, and Denis, and Symbolists Redon and Toorop. She patronized and supported artists who were pioneering abstraction?particularly Mondrian, Van Doesburg, and Van der Leck?and collected the Cubists, including… [detailed...]

Van Gogh`s Sheaves of Wheat (Dallas Museum of Art Publications)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) viewed wheat as a central metaphor of the cycle of life and the creative process. As such, it was a theme that he consistently explored throughout his career. This book examines the artist’s personal and visual fascination with wheat, analyzing the significance that the motif––and by extension, the peasant at work in nature––played within the social and cultural framework of 19th-century France and in the works of other artists of the time. Focusing on his Sheaves of Wheat at the Dallas Museum of Art––one of thirteen canvases completed in the last month of his life––this beautiful book features illustrations of Van Gogh’s works as well as personal correspondence and letters. Related images by such prominent contemporary artists as Emile Bernard, Jules Breton, Charles F. Daubigny, Paul Gauguin, Jean-FranA§ois Millet, Claude Monet, and Camille Pissarro are also included….

Vanilla Pop: Sweet Sounds from Frankie Avalon to ABBA

2005 y.
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
Description: This pop culture history serves up the soda fountain sound of the musical form that pervaded popular culture from the late 1950s to the mid-1970s: vanilla pop. The argument that vanilla, rather than being the absence of flavor, is a unique, identifiable, and underappreciated characteristic of pop music is presented. Paying tribute to vanilla pop’s mild-mannered, soft, soothing, sweet-tempered vision, the key components of this sound that freshens the ear with its extreme studioprocessing, high-register vocals, and sparkly acoustics are highlighted alongside its primary artists, including Frankie Avalon, Pat Boone, the Four Preps, the Carpenters, Doris Day, ABBA, and even the early-1990s balladeer Tommy Page. Beloved songs fromthis era such as `A Shoulder to Cry On,` `A Summer Song,` `For All We Know,` `Johnny Angel,` `Sealed with a Kiss,` and `Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)` are also profiled. This definitive history pays tribute to a pop music in danger of… [detailed...]

Vanished Kingdoms: A Woman Explorer in Tibet, China, and Mongolia 1921-1925

Description: Book Description A Testament to the Great Spirit and Success of a Remarkable Woman Explorer In the early 1920s, the last great age of world explorers, a remarkable young woman, Janet Elliott Wulsin, set out with her husband, Frederick Wulsin, for the far reaches of China, Tibet, and Outer Mongolia to study the people, flora, and fauna of the region. Janet’s strenuous, eventful exploration is detailed by a text enriched with excerpts from her candid personal letters. The journey proved to be a test of the Wulsins’ endurance and of their relationship. While in Asia, the Wulsins took many extraordinary photographs, which form the heart of this richly produced publication. They documented tribespeople and sublime desert landscapes, and, perhaps most remarkably, were allowed to photograph the interior of several of the great Tibetan Buddhist lamaseries, many of which have since been destroyed. Several dozen rare, hand-painted lantern slides survived and… [detailed...]

But as Sophie lets herself into Electra`s apartment for the first time, she opens herself to temptations she never had - a plush home, a closet of designer clothes.

Description: The worlds preeminent nature photographer creates magical images of wildlife in camouflage. In this astonishing new book, legendary wildlife photographer Art Wolfe turns to one of natures most fundamental survival techniques: the vanishing act. His portraits show animals and insects relying on deception, disguises, lures, and decoys to disappear into their surroundings and so confuse the eye of the predator. In a world where nothing is as it appears to be, a lion blends into the tall grass in the late afternoon sun, a harp seal disappears against his snowy backdrop. Pastel orchids can suddenly morph into predatory praying mantises, lizard heads become tails. What at first appears to be a torn and decomposing leaf on a forest floor in Peru suddenly sprouts legs and starts walking: it is a leaf-mimic katydid. Spotting each hidden animal amid Wolfes clever compositions is both a fun and informative game. At a time when many species are performing permanent vanishing acts due to habitat… [detailed...]
