	RUGER, AXEL Vermeer and Painting in Delft London, National Gallery Company. 2001, First Edition. (ISBN: 1857099109) Soft Cover , 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Exhibition Catalogue, 72 pp. col. illus. maps, ports. biblio.; 27 cm. "This book was published to accompany the exhibition Vermeer and the Delft School at the National Gallery, London 29 June-16 September 2001." AS NEW. Richly illustrated with colour plates. Focuses on the three Dutch masters of Delft, Johannes Vermeer, Carel Fabritius, and Pieter de Hooch. "During the first seventy years of the seventeenth century the Dutch town of Delft emerged as one of the most important artistic centers in the Netherlands. Although famous as the birthplace of the painter Johannes Vermeer, Delft was also home to an extended community of masters that included among many others Pieter de Hooch and Carel Fabritius. In this accessible introduction to the key Delft artists, Axel Rüger places Vermeer's masterpieces within their historical and artistic context. This book, accompanying a major loan exhibition at the National Gallery, London, reveals how artistic and cultural developments of the early seventeenth century paved the way for the flowering of art in the city, culminating in the master works of the 1650s and 1660s. Investigating the artistic production of the city genre by genre, the author builds a picture of the so-called Delft School and its influences. Although painting from this time is probably best known for Vermeer's serene scenes of everyday life, his contemporaries chose many different subjects. The church interiors of Gerard Houckgeest and Emanuel de Witte, the atmospheric landscapes and townscapes of Paulus Potter and Daniel Vosmaer, and the elegant portraits of Michiel van Miereveld all represent significant aspects of Delft's rich heritage, and all are reproduced here. The artists' shared interest in the close observation of reality, and their preoccupation with light and atmospheric effects, link together the works they produced. From Vermeer's world-famous masterpieces to the less familiar works of the period, all these refined paintings reflect a powerful sensibility to the visual aspects of the world as their makers perceived it. / Axel Rüger is curator of Dutch paintings at the National Gallery, London." - Publisher.

	SMITH, R. R. R. Hellenistic Sculpture: A Handbook London and New Delhi, Thames & Hudson; World of Art Ser. 1991, Reprint, 2001. (ISBN: 0500202494) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 287 pp. illus. biblio. indexes; 21 cm. Tight, clean copy. "The exuberant realism and virtuoso technique of Hellenistic sculpture formed the basis of European art. Under Alexander and his cosmopolitan successors, sculptors enriched the classical Greek repertoire with a whole range of new subjects -- hermaphrodites, putti, peasants, boxers -- and new styles -- baroque treatment, genre figures, individualized portraiture. Professor Smith offers a reappraisal of this entire artistic epoch as a period of innovation, demonstrating the variety, subtlety and complexity of its styles. Numerous illustrations reveal the skill and inventiveness of the Hellenistic masters, who created works of great beauty and expressive power. The result is a lively survey of a vital phase in the evolution of Western art." - Publisher. Fine.

The church interiors of Gerard Houckgeest and Emanuel de Witte, the atmospheric landscapes and townscapes of Paulus Potter and Daniel Vosmaer, and the elegant portraits of Michiel van Miereveld all represent significant aspects of Delft's rich heritage, and all are reproduced here. The artists' shared interest in the close observation of reality, and their preoccupation with light and atmospheric effects, link together the works they produced. From Vermeer's world-famous masterpieces to the less familiar works of the period, all these refined paintings reflect a powerful sensibility to the visual aspects of the world as their makers perceived it. / Axel Rüger is curator of Dutch paintings at the National Gallery, London." - Publisher.

	SMITH, R. R. R. Hellenistic Sculpture: A Handbook London and New Delhi, Thames & Hudson; World of Art Ser. 1991, Reprint, 2001. (ISBN: 0500202494) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 287 pp. illus. biblio. indexes; 21 cm. Tight, clean copy. "The exuberant realism and virtuoso technique of Hellenistic sculpture formed the basis of European art. Under Alexander and his cosmopolitan successors, sculptors enriched the classical Greek repertoire with a whole range of new subjects -- hermaphrodites, putti, peasants, boxers -- and new styles -- baroque treatment, genre figures, individualized portraiture. Professor Smith offers a reappraisal of this entire artistic epoch as a period of innovation, demonstrating the variety, subtlety and complexity of its styles. Numerous illustrations reveal the skill and inventiveness of the Hellenistic masters, who created works of great beauty and expressive power. The result is a lively survey of a vital phase in the evolution of Western art." - Publisher. Fine.
