Boggs, Erich Schutz, René Vincent, Julias Diaz, Hermann Vogel\u003c\/strong\u003e (nearly unknown but a brilliant anthropomorphic animal \u0026amp; fairy tale artist from Germany, circa 1890s...a favorite of mine, he will remind you of Harrison Cady and, yes, Walt Kelly!).

The artists will be familiar, but these images are culled from very obscure sources and have never been reprinted. Editor Jim Vadeboncoeur carefully scans each image and corrects it, often taking badly printed original appearances and vastly improving them. He also often features art from original artwork, having many sources for such material.\n\nJim spares no time nor expense to make this the finest possible magazine, printed on high quality heavy glossy paper, in the U.S. Each page is beautifully reproduced using the latest and best technology (Stochastic Printing, which yields blacker blacks and richer colors).\n\nVadeboncoeur has collected art and illustration for near 50 years now, so his sources are vast. Even the most veteran collector will find not only images from favorite artists that are new, but artists themselves who have previously escaped attention. I say this from first-hand experience, being a collector as long as Jim has been, but seeing both artists and images new to me. Limited to 2,000 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59639584456990,"sku":"IMA12","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/product_i_m_ima12.jpg?v=1784467934"},{"product_id":"frank-brangwyn-the-way-of-the-cross","title":"FRANK BRANGWYN The Way of the Cross","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally printed in 1935 in a limited edition of 250, this new edition features 14 plates--reproduced from the original lithographic reproductions--of the fourteen stations of the cross. Brangwyn, 1867-1956, had an excellent eye for the divinity of the working man and the hardiness of humanity. This superbly produced portfolio, complete with a gorgeous hardcover box in maroon imitation leather, features all 14 large scale full page artworks printed by letterpress on custom 80lb stock.\n\nThe portfolio-box is blind-embossed and opens up with four complete flaps, to reveal a thick collection of plates AND commentary by \u003cstrong\u003eDr. Libby Horner\u003c\/strong\u003e. Dr. Horner discusses Brangwyn's incredible career and how these could NOT have been done early in his working years. Also reproduced as plates over four pages, in letterpress. This is a product of his deep and long experience as one of the most successful artists in England--his disillusionment with the world War he'd recently gone through--and his own deep religious beliefs.\n\nHe brings to life the stations of the cross, normally only seen in Catholic churches, often in sculpted works or a series of pictures. Here he humanizes Jesus and all the people around him, as he carries the cross on his long journey to his final death.\n\nYou don't have to be religious to enjoy this, but that is probably the reason that has prevented this from being a sellout. I maintain that it is the most beautiful production that publisher Manual Auad has ever done. I'm a long time fan of Brangwyn's art, but I'm first to admit he is either unknown or forgotten by a great many today. Strangely enough, Manual was instrumental in helping artist Alfredo Alcala to find a career in American comic books (he was born and first worked in the Philipines). And Alcala practically worshipped Brangwyn's artwork, spending every spare dollar to get all his original books.\n\nI'm not religious myself, but to me it doesn't matter. This is fine art, powerful, captivating. Brangwyn was incredibly popular in his day, and for good reason. You can see it here, and you can also see how he was a STRONG influence on subsequent artists, the most evident being the master Dean Cornwell himself.\n\nAuad Publishing has done fine books on Alex Toth and Franklin Booth, Al Parker and Albert Dorne..but this is by far their most ambitious and exquisitely-produced project. And at this price, it is really, really a steal.

During his forty-year career, Raleigh was one of the highest paid newspaper and magazine artists in the United States, creator of iconic World War I propaganda posters, and arguably the most prominent story illustrator of the Jazz Age. This is the first book ever on the artist, and it's beautifully done. It features an abundance of full color work, from crowd and party scenes to wonderful advertising pieces.\n\nAs a commercial artist working in the field of advertising, very few individuals published as many of their illustrations or earned as much as Henry Patrick Raleigh. He worked for major accounts like Maxwell House Coffee, where they simply turned him loose to provide attention-getting images of beautiful people drinking coffee or simply looking elegant.\n\nA great many of the illustrations here are directly from the original artwork. Includes a full biography and two wonderful fold-out pages.\n\nRaleigh was an incredibly prolific artist, having published 20,000 illustrations by the time he was 43.

Scott Fitzgerald, and Agatha Christie.\n\nFrom the Preface by his grandson, Christopher Raleigh: \"Throughout my childhood, my parents filled my impressionable young mind with stories about my famous grandfather...of the privileged lifestyle he led as a result of financial success as an artist and illustrator. My mother related tales of the famous people he worked with, like F. Scott Fitzgerald [12 of his short stories] and H.G. Wells. There were stories about my mother dancing with Rudolph Valentino and Hank's (as friends and family called him) models Joseph Cotton and Ginger Rogers. She piqued my imagination with descriptions of New York society events, world travels, yachts, and other luxuries that were so much a part of Hank's life.\"\n\nIn 1923, artist Everett Shinn was also a popular art critic...he considered Raleigh the best illustrator in the United States. He illustrated over 500 stories for the \u003cem\u003eSaturday Evening Post\u003c\/em\u003e alone.

VOYSEY Architect, Designer, Individualist","description":"\u003cp\u003eA leading figure in the British Arts and Crafts movement, \u003cstrong\u003eC.F.A. Voysey\u003c\/strong\u003e (1857-1941) could easily have made a career out of pattern design alone, for his ingenious textiles and wall coverings in fresh, clear colors won him international acclaim. His wallpapers and textiles, in particular, reveal his complex personality and his lifelong love of England's flora and fauna. By the mid-1890s, however, he also was hailed as one of Britain's most innovative architects.\n\nFor the small country houses that were his specialty, he rejected the lavish ornamentation and historical trappings so beloved by the Victorians, relying instead on simple, expressive forms and materials. His influence on the field of architecture cannot be overstated. As one critic noted in 1927, “Voysey . . . set architects in a new relation to their work. It is not only the things he did, but more particularly the spirit in which he addressed himself to his tasks, which places architects and architecture in his debt.”\n\nLike other Arts and Crafts practitioners, Voysey believed that no aspect of a house was too small to merit the architect's attention. Even by this standard his versatility was astonishing, encompassing all manner of furniture, cabinetry, fixtures, and floor and wall coverings. Behind literally every one of these elements -- from the shape of a clothes hook to the sweep of a roofline -- lay a strong and unorthodox spiritual philosophy that often set Voysey at odds with others in his profession, even as he rose to become a leading force among the architects and designers of his time. It was his belief that a reverent observation of the natural world might hasten humanity's spiritual evolution. Today his images are as beloved as they were then.\n\nAnne Stewart O'Donnell traces Voysey's extraordinary creative output through his professional career while painting a vivid picture of Voysey the man. More than sixty-five full-color architectural and design drawings and historical black-and-white photographs illuminate the individualism of this singular artist.\n\nThis book profiles Voysey's entire body of work, from his architectural designs for cottage houses to his interior designs for furniture, metalwork, wall coverings, and textiles.

As surreal as Pablo Picasso or Salvador Dali, as evocative as Georgia O'Keeffe, this gallery introduces SF and New Age afficionados to the first full-scale celebration of Meyer's work. Invoking themes of ecology, conservation, culture, and lost civilizations, Meyer's paintings pronounce that all existence is interconnected and that all souls are intertwined. A cultural sensation in Japan and the subject of numerous articles, interviews and even a documentary film, Meyer enchants with her bold, painterly style.

And while their copies are used and have been read, these are as-new, unread file copies never before opened.\n\nMeyer (1939-2009) passed away while still at her peak of skills. We might have seen far more of her and she should be far better known. Her work is just amazing, which is why Underwood chose to publish her, an artist unknown to the majority of comics and sci-fi fans, but who well deserves to be seen and appreciated.\n\nFrom Wikipedia: At the age of seven she contributed work to a time capsule at Alki Point, Seattle. She made her career as an oil painter in the 1970s with her first solo exhibition in 1979.\n\nHer early work was based on the fruit and flowers she used as models, with real and imagined animals joining these as time progressed. Her work became popular in the fantasy art world, gracing the cover of books by James K. Morrow, Philip K. Dick, Marion Zimmer Bradley and other science fiction and fantasy authors. F.X. Schmid produced puzzles based on her paintings. She also became more popular in Japan than in her home country.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Underwood Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59640116740382,"sku":"ILENEH","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/ileneh-ilene-meyers-paintings-drawings-perceptions-book.jpg?v=1784487155"},{"product_id":"hank-janson-under-cover-a-visual-history","title":"HANK JANSON UNDER COVER A Visual History","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this full-color coffee-table art book, noted researcher \u003cstrong\u003eStephen James Walker\u003c\/strong\u003e presents a complete visual history of the \u003cstrong\u003eHank Janson\u003c\/strong\u003e crime fiction series, from its inception in 1946 through to the last of the original novels in 1971, and beyond.

Joys and laments are mirrored in the cycle of the seasons, in the seed birthing sprout, or in the dead leaf falling softly from winter branches.\n\nPlants, trees, and flowers as signifiers of transition are also deeply embedded within rites of passage — rituals across global cultures. Rose petals strewn along the wedding aisle mark the evolution into womanhood and marriage. A wreath of lilies stands sentinel over an open grave. A lover’s bouquet awaits on the doorstep. The wooden May Day pole is circled by girls wearing crowns of woven daisies, celebrating the coming of spring.\n\nBirth, unions, and burials -- cycles of joyful celebration and deep grieving, all are marked symbolically with herbs, flowers or branches of a tree -- the integration of nature into ceremony our method of signifying catharsis.\n\nSince time immemorial, plants have also served as potent symbols within the religions of the world; Buddha attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree, Eve plucking the Apple of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden.\n\nAbout the series\n\nThe Library of Esoterica explores how centuries of artists have given form to mysticism, translating the arcane and the obscure into enduring, visionary works of art.

But with the Enlightenment and the birth of exact science, the practice moved to places where mystery was still permitted, inspiring literature, art, and psychology, and influenced artists and thinkers such as Goethe, Byron, and Blake.

His 1920s puppets directly inspired Jim Henson; he was also a pioneer in animated films and children’s books, and, as a longtime designer for Macy’s, he created the gigantic balloons used in the firm’s Thanksgiving Day Parade which began in 1924. He also employed one of his parade balloons in the famous Nantucket Sea Serpent hoax of 1937.\n\nThis abundantly illustrated volume, published to coincide with a major exhibition organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum, is the first to survey Tony Sarg’s protean career. It brings together imagery and artifacts from numerous public and private collections, and includes special sections on Sarg’s long association with the island of Nantucket.\n\n\u003cem\u003eI've always collected and enjoyed Sarg's children's books from the 1920 and 1930s; some remain in print today. But this exhibit, which I just attended in Massachusetts, opened my eyes to his wide-ranging accomplishments. I love his many books, from his hand-lettered ABC to a complete calendar of humorous scenes of urban London. These remind me of W. Heath Robinson. His love for boats and the sea comes out in his many works, and his birds' eye-views of Nantucket Island and other popular New England spots are a delight, capturing each place in time. -Bud\u003c\/em\u003e\n\nIn the 1920s, he gained even greater renown for his touring puppet shows based on classic tales like \u003cem\u003eAlice in Wonderland\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eRobinson Crusoe\u003c\/em\u003e. Fusing the time-honored craft of traditional marionette shows with a playful modern sensibility, Sarg’s productions were foundational to American puppetry: Jim Henson can be considered a direct artistic descendant.\n\nSarg became a cottage industry of production, even doing notebooks, porcelain figures, posters, writing paper, napkins, cloth patterns.
