	DOLAN, BRIAN Wedgwood: The First Tycoon New York, Viking Press; Penguin. 2004, First Edition, First Printing. (ISBN: 0670033464) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Collectible, xvii, 396 pp. illus. biblio. index; 24 cm. BRAND NEW. Remainder mark/tail edge. "With its familiar white classical figures against a pale-blue background, Wedgwood has been one of the most recognizable brand names in the world for more than two hundred years--the epitome of quality and luxury--and the Enlightenment's most remarkable success story. Born into a family of struggling potters, Josiah Wedgwood amassed a fortune that, at his death in 1795, was valued at the equivalent of $3.4 billion in today's dollars and helmed an empire that stretched from England to Russia to the United States. As a member of the famous Lunar Society, whose members included James Watt, Joseph Priestley, and Erasmus Darwin, he combined rationality with bold experimentation, revolutionizing the business model of his time with a series of innovations that have continued to this day: Organizing skilled labor in one of the world's earliest factories; Encouraging employee loyalty by offering long-term contracts that included health insurance and pension plans; Changing the very notion of shopping by utilizing showrooms and traveling salesmen; The story of how phenomenal wealth affected the lives of a family and of the turbulent political climate that threatened their very livelihood, this vivid and compelling portrait of a pioneer of commercial culture is sure to be a hit with loyal collectors and the business market alike. / Brian Dolan, Ph.D. is an associate professor of anthropology, history, and social medicine at the University of California at San Francisco. He has researched and written widely on European (especially British) cultural history during the age of the Enlightenment. His books include Ladies of the Grand Tour and Exploring European Frontiers." - Publisher. NEW/NEW.

	JOHNSON, DOROTHY Jacques-Louis David: The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis Los Angeles, J. Paul Getty Museum; Getty Museum Studies on Art Ser. 1997, First Edition. (ISBN: 0892362367) Soft Cover , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 100 pp. illus. (some col.), bib. notes; 24 cm. AS NEW. "Jacques-Louis David's brilliant painting of the young lovers Telemachus and Eucharis was created during the artist's last years, when the defeat of Napoleon and the return of the monarchy in France forced him into exile in Brussels. Several of his paintings from this period show his preoccupation with the psychology of love, but none depicts the emotions of parting more tenderly than this painting from 1818. Dorothy Johnson discusses how David's political involvement affected his personal life and career, taking him from history painter to revolutionary to living in exile. The effects of these experiences came together at the end of his life in the creation of some of his richest and most complex works." - Publisher. Fine.

	SHERIFF, MARY D. Moved by Love: Inspired Artists and Deviant Women in Eighteenth-Century France Chicago, University of Chicago Press. 2004, First Edition, First Printing. (ISBN: 0226752879) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Collectible, Cloth, xiii, 303 pp. illus. biblio. index; 26 cm. AS NEW. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "In eighteenth-century France, the ability to lose oneself in a character or scene marked both great artists and ideal spectators. Yet it was thought this same passionate enthusiasm, if taken to unreasonable extremes, could also lead to sexual deviance, mental illness--even death. Women and artists were seen as especially susceptible to these negative consequences of creative enthusiasm, and women artists, doubly so. Mary D. Sheriff uses these very different visions of enthusiasm to explore the complex interrelationships among creativity, sexuality, the body and the mind in eighteenth-century France. Drawing on evidence from the visual arts, literature, philosophy, and medicine, she portrays the deviance ascribed to both inspired men and women. But while various mythologies worked to normalize deviance in male artists, women had no justification for their deviance. For instance, the mythical sculptor Pygmalion was cured of an abnormal love for his statue through the making of art. He became a model for creative artists, living happily with his statue come to life. No happy endings, though, were imagined for such inspired women writers as Sappho and Heloise, who burned with erotomania their art could not quench. Even so, Sheriff demonstrates, the perceived connections among sexuality, creativity, and disease also opened artistic opportunities for creative women took full advantage of them. Brilliantly reassessing the links between sexuality and creativity, artistic genius and madness, passion and reason, Moved by Love will profoundly reshape our view of eighteenth- century French culture. / Mary D. Sheriff is the Daniel W. Patterson Distinguished Term Professor of Art at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is the author of The Exceptional Woman: Elisabeth Vigèe-Lebrun and the Cultural Politics of Art and Fragonard: Art and Eroticism, both published by the University of Chicago Press." - Publisher.
