Los Angeles, CA: Institute of Archaeology, University of California, 1976 ix, 81 pp. 31 black-and-white plates, bibliographical notes, appendix. In this scholarly, thematic work (out-of-print), the author examines the legacy of Skopas of Pharos (4th century BC), the reputed sculptor of a famous monumental sculptural group with a marine subject (referred to as a "marine thiasos") depicting Poseidon, Thetis, Achilles, Nereids and other marine creatures. Now destroyed and in fragments, the group apparently adorned a temple in Rome dedicated to Poseidon (although it had probably been removed from its original location in Asia Minor) and it formed the inspiration for many marine-related subjects in later Hellenistic and Roman art. CONTENTS: 1) The career and style of Skopas. 2) Skopas' marine group in Rome. 4) The marine thasos in Greek art. 4) The motifs of the marine thiasos in Greek sculpture. Bound in brown cloth with quarter imitation-leather spine. CONDITION: Book itself in near new condition (gently read) with very minor edge wear only.

[Glasgow] : Glasgow Museums ; New York: Abbeville Press, 1996 383 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 29 cm. " This book offers information and ideas about many aspects of Mackintosh's work: his famous tea rooms, his distinctive furniture, and his evocative paintings. In addition, individual chapters are devoted to his two most remarkable surviving buildings, Glasgow School of Art and The Hill Houseboth illustrated with specially commissioned color photographs. The authors also provide a fresh and thoughtful look at Mackintosh's context in turn-of-the-century Glasgow and London while revising many of the myths that have long obscured his life and career. His extensive collaboration with his wife, Margaret Macdonald, and his working relationships with his mentors and patrons receive enlightening scrutiny as well. This authoritative volume - which accompanies a major retrospective with an international tour, organized by the Glasgow Museums - also contains an extensive chronology, a cast of characters, a selected bibliography, and an appendix of the Mackintosh buildings and interiors that are still in existence" With 245 superb illustrations, 114 in full color..

Bucks County, Pa: James A. Michener Art Museum ; Philadelphia : University of Pennsylvania Press, 2004 xiii, 158 p. : ill. (chiefly col.) ; 31 cm. This monograph "brings to light details about the artist's life and work. Unlike the other Pennsylvania Impressionist artists, Spencer filled his landscapes with run-down Bucks County mills, prostitutes, thieves, and revolutionaries. His suffering from acute depression is reflected his worldview. But the fact that he could rise above his illness is a testament to his passion and inner strength. Spencer, a patrician, did not like modern art, but his experimental works at the end of his life have the same rhythm and energy as those that American modernist painters were executing in the early 20th century. He did not make the leap into modern art, as did the painter Marin. Spencer committed suicide in 1931. Correspondence between Spencer and Duncan Phillips (founder of the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC, which houses some of Spencer's finest paintings) is included in the publication and helps to shed light on their very close professional and personal friendship."

Praha (Prague), Czechoslovakia: Artia, 1965 341 pp. Illustrations (color and black-and-white; several fold out); bibliographical references. Text translated into German from the original Czech (published as "Pribeh zidovskeho muzea v Praze"). (This book has also been translated into English as "A Story of the Jewish Museum in Prague," 1968.) This beautiful, heavily illustrated book tells the story of the Jewish Museum in Prague, remarkable not only for its exhibits but also for the story they tell about the people who owned and used these objects. We are informed of the unhappy circumstances in which the Museum came by its large collections and gain insights into the life and customs of past ages. As thousands of Jewish men, women and children were transported to the concentration camps from what the Nazis called the "Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia," thousands of objects from the dissolved Jewish communities throughout the country began to flow into the Central Jewish Museum in Prague, founded by a group of Jewish writers, historians, librarians, Hebraists and antiquarians in the hope that everyone would safely return from the camps after a time, that some or all communities would be restored and would be able to reclaim their property. The space in which the story is set is bounded by distinctive Prague landmarks: the Old Jewish Cemetery, the Old-New Synagogue and four other synagogues, the Old, Klausen, High and Pinkas Synagogues. CONDITION: Some light water damage to bottom edges of boards and spine. Bottom edges of pages lightly rippled from moisture (no staining). Dustjact is chipped at ends of spine and corners, and shows some light water damage along bottom edges. Pages lightly darkened from age.
