Dan considers all these aspects as he looks at places, some well known, many less so, as varied as the Catherine Palace in St Petersburg, the Minaret of Jam in Afghanistan, the Hanging Temple in Shanxi in China, Astana in Kazakhstan, Brasilia, Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, the Lupanare Brothels in Pompeii, and the building of an igloo, man's earliest exercise in the creation of shelter, in Greenland.

	CUARES, J.C. Majesty of Spain: Royal Collections from the Museo Del Prado and the Patrimonio Nacional Mississippi Commission for International Cultural Exchange. 2001. Soft Cover, 4to - over 9Â¾" - 12" tall. In the long history of Spanish arts and fine crafts, the years 1746 to 1833, in particular, witnessed a remarkable surge in the creation of masterworks in all artistic genres. The great 18th and early 19th century architects erected buildings ranging from grand royal palaces and gardens to smaller-scaled, intricate 'casitas' (country-cottages). Painters, including Mengs, Tiepolo, Vam Loo, Giawuinto, and the incomparable Francisco de Goya, filled these residences with magnificent murals, portraits, still-lifes and landscapes. Goya created, as well, the delightful cartoons to be crafted into lavish embroidered tapestries depicting landscapes and scenes from daily life. This was the era of the Royal Factories and Workshops, created by Charles III to support the education of Spains finest artisans and craftsmen, as well as to decorate the royal homes with the finest art opbjects in porcelain, wood, ivory, bronze, silver and crystal. Everything created conveyed a certain magic, as part of the apex of Spain's monarchic civilization. This book is a splendid collection of these royal treasures, many of which have never been seen before outside Spain. New/New - Slight Shelf Wear.

	CLARK, GARTH; CUNHA, TONY The Artful Teapot Thames & Hudson. 2001. (ISBN: 0500510458) Hard Cover. "The Artful Teapot" examines the form of the teapot and how it has become not only an icon but an inventive vehicle for artistic expression. The sculptor and installation artist, Arman, called it "one of the key fetish objects of our time" and, as such, the teapot has drawn widespread attention from designers and artists. The 500-year history of the teapot is represented by key works from Yixing, Meissen, Wedgwood and other producers, providing the historical background for its main focus: the creations of such leading 20th-century artists and designers as Bernard Leach, David Hockney and Keith Haring. The accompanying text provides an analysis of these works. Teapots in a wide range of media are examined, from porcelain, earthenware and ceramic, through sterling silver, glass and wire. Also included is a brief history of tea and the tea trade, and an introduction to the accountrements and customs of the world of tea. New/New - Slight Shelf Wear.

	CRUICKSHANK, DAN Adventures in Architecture Winfeild and Nicolson. 2008. (ISBN: 029784444X) Hard Cover. Dan takes us to the buildings he believes have changed the world, revealing how in truly great buildings function, material and purpose connect to all other parts of life - showing how architecture is the richest and most compelx of man's artistic endeavours. Do his chosen buildings live up to expectation, or does he find disappointment and lost ideals? Architecture is an art, a science and a craft. But buildings also have to fulfil a function, cater for human use, withstand the forces of nature, and be built to a budget. Dan considers all these aspects as he looks at places, some well known, many less so, as varied as the Catherine Palace in St Petersburg, the Minaret of Jam in Afghanistan, the Hanging Temple in Shanxi in China, Astana in Kazakhstan, Brasilia, Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, the Lupanare Brothels in Pompeii, and the building of an igloo, man's earliest exercise in the creation of shelter, in Greenland.

	CUARES, J.C. Majesty of Spain: Royal Collections from the Museo Del Prado and the Patrimonio Nacional Mississippi Commission for International Cultural Exchange. 2001. Soft Cover, 4to - over 9Â¾" - 12" tall. In the long history of Spanish arts and fine crafts, the years 1746 to 1833, in particular, witnessed a remarkable surge in the creation of masterworks in all artistic genres. The great 18th and early 19th century architects erected buildings ranging from grand royal palaces and gardens to smaller-scaled, intricate 'casitas' (country-cottages). Painters, including Mengs, Tiepolo, Vam Loo, Giawuinto, and the incomparable Francisco de Goya, filled these residences with magnificent murals, portraits, still-lifes and landscapes. Goya created, as well, the delightful cartoons to be crafted into lavish embroidered tapestries depicting landscapes and scenes from daily life. This was the era of the Royal Factories and Workshops, created by Charles III to support the education of Spains finest artisans and craftsmen, as well as to decorate the royal homes with the finest art opbjects in porcelain, wood, ivory, bronze, silver and crystal. Everything created conveyed a certain magic, as part of the apex of Spain's monarchic civilization. This book is a splendid collection of these royal treasures, many of which have never been seen before outside Spain. New/New - Slight Shelf Wear.
