Heaven and Earth: Art of Byzantium from Greek Collections

Athens, Greece: Benaki Museum, 2013. 9604761560. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Hard Cover. ISBN: 9604761560. This lavish, full-color publication is the catalogue accompanying the spectacular exhibition from the National Gallery of Art. Byzantine artists drew from pagan and early Christian foundations to fashion the opulent and deeply spiritual world of Byzantium (A.D. 330–1453). The establishment of Christianity as the state religion inspired the creation of luminous icons, textiles, architectural sculptures, frescoes, and mosaics to adorn basilicas throughout the empire. Prosperous monasteries produced illuminated manuscripts and preserved the legacy of ancient Greek literature, while private patronage fostered the embellishment of daily life. Nearly two hundred objects, exclusively from Greek collections, display the distinctive Byzantine aesthetic that influenced the artistic traditions of neighboring cultures for over a millennium. Profusely illustrated in color.. Both the volume and the unclipped dust jacket are in perfect, unmarked condition, new in original shrink-wrap. NEW/NEW.. Color Plates. 4to 11" - 13" tall. 363 pp. New in New dust jacket .

ELIOT, ALEXANDER

Three Hundred Years of American Painting

New York: Time Inc, 1957. First Edition. 1. Hard Cover. Quarter bound in publisher's brown cloth over tan cloth boards, gilt lettering on spine & cover. Profusely illustrated with over 250 full-color reproductions. Includes a list of One Hundred Collections of American Painting, a Chronology, a Bibliography, an Index and an Introduction by John Walker, director of the National Gallery of Art. The author, Alexander Eliot, art editor of TIME, stretches a wonderful panorama before our eyes. At the beginning are the earliest pictures which can be claimed to be American, and at the end are canvases almost too new to be varnished. The great leaders of American painting are here, but so are the lesser artists, the anonymous primitives, the specialists in genre, the painters of cowboys and the West, up to the most modern and experimental works. The artists covered in book include: Captain Thomas Smith, John Greenwood, John Singleton Copley, Benjamin West, Rembrandt Peale, John Trumbull, Gilbert Stuart, Washington Alston, Henry Inman, Edward Hicks, William Sharp, Fitz Hugh Lane, Thomas Cole, John James Audubon, George Catlin, Albert Bierstadt, Frederic Remington, William Harnett, Frederick Edwin Church, Abbott Thayer, James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, George Innes, Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, Childe Hassam, Maurice Prendergast, William Glackens, Joseph Stella, Charles Demuth, Max Weber, Georgia O'Keeffe, Milton Avery, Grandma Moses, Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood, Ben Shahn, Ivan Albright, Max Beckmann, Josef Albers, Jacob Lawrence, Morris Graves, Mark Rothko, Hans Hofmann, Robert Motherwell, James Brooks, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Andrew Wyeth, Edward Hopper, and many more. Over 140 artists are featured with examples of their work and biographies. Hardcover without dust jacket or slipcase. The volume is tight and square. The fep is stained and there is a small stain and closed tear on the rep. All of the plates and text are clean and bright. Boards show fading and shelf-wear, there is an ink mark on back cover and corners are bumped. Endpapers are faded. Color Illustrations. Folio (9.5 x 12.75"). x, 318 pp. Very Good with no dust jacket .
