《中国美术院校教材：潘思同水彩画直观教材选》所介绍的是潘思同20世纪五、六十年代在浙江美术学院水彩画教学中使用的部分直观教材。所谓直观教材就是上课时的图示和示范作品。由于上课的教学时间有限，不可能在课堂里做大量示范，所以在每堂课上课之前，作为备课，潘思同都要针对一、二个问题，画一些直观教材，上面配备必要的文字说明，一方面为了节省时间，另一方面也为了取得视觉效果。在直观教材中，有些图本身就是独立的作品，因此，下课后学生常常争先恐后地拿去观摩、临摹。对这些直观教材，学生反应很好，有些青年教师也常借去作为参考。当时许多同行建议让这些教材印刷出版，但由于当时彩色印刷费用高昂，会大大提高书价，而且印刷质量也大有问题，如果采用黑白图版则大大削弱教材的直观效果，因而始终未能出版面世1993年，“

One of the 20th century s most celebrated image-makers, this collection, in a generously oversized format, focuses on Elliott Erwitt s distinctive photographs of dogs. In a heartfelt and original tribute to man s best friend, this photographic master captures all the diversity of the canine kingdom. We witness Fido s many moods from playful, perky scamp to quiet and constant companion. Ranging from daring little imps to lumbering and gentle beasts, Erwitt s images unveil the quirkiness that makes these creatures so beloved while combining an unerring sense of composition with the magic of the moment.

The Rijksmuseum's collection of seventeenth-century Dutch drawings is one of the finest in the world. Its extensive holdings will be published in full over the next few years in a series of catalogues. These two volumes contain all the drawings by masters born between 1580 and 1600, and give a kaleidoscopic picture of the art of drawing in the Northern Netherlands in the first half of the seventeenth century. The drawings from this period display an unparallelled diversity of styles, subject matter and materials. Draughtsmen were in the forefront of the developments that also took Dutch painting by storm.They left the security of their studios to go out into the countryside to draw nature as it really was. The quintessentially Dutch landscapes of Claes JanszVisscher, Jan and Esaias van deVelde,Jan van Goyen and Pieter Molijn are the result of that close study of reality, as are the scenes of classical ruins bathed in southern sunlight by artists who visited Italy, like Cornelis van Poelenburch and Herman

The stunning photographic reportage of Father Leone Nani presents early twentieth-century China as seen through the lens of an "outsider" who brought to life the people, places and traditions of a lost empire. The sheer quality and quantity of his pictures, the choice of subjects and handling of widely different situations, have reserved Nani the right to be considered a master of black-and-white photography. Leone Nani (1880-1935) lived in central China from 1904 to 1914. His missionary work took him to remote villages where he captured a world beyond the reach of other Westerners. Working in large format (mostly on glass plates he developed and printed himself in his mobile studio), Nani portrayed young couples, dignitaries, peasants and artisans. Equally gifted as an observer and reporter, he recorded everyday life scenes, religious ceremonies, architecture, and landscapes. Beautifully reproduced here in duotone, Nani's extraordinary material bears witness to a turbulent time in China's histor

Back on the job after an involuntary leave of absence, LAPDhomicide detective Harry Bosch is ready for a challenge. But hisfirst case is a little more than he bargained for. It starts with the body of a Hollywood producer in the trunk of aRolls-Royce, shot twice in the head at close range - what lookslike "trunk music," a Mafia hit. But the LAPD's organized crimeunit is curiously uninterested, and when Harry follows a trail ofgambling debts to Las Vegas, the case suddenly becomes more complex- and much more personal. A rekindled romance with an old girlfriend opens new perspectiveson the murder, and he begins to glimpse a shocking triangle ofcorruption and collusion. Yanked off the case, Harry himself issoon the one being investigated. But only a bullet can stop Harrywhen he's searching for the truth . . .

Travel Sickness is a singular book project from Sheffield in theEnglish midlands which takes us on a surreal journey into the 21stcentury. Drawing inspiration from the messiness, violence andbeauty of the world around them together with the writings ofStephen Jones, DED have unfurled their vision and planted somethingnew. Innovatively, the book?s design is a literal and emotionalreaction to the text. The illustrations convey the fragmentedthoughts of Jack as he takes an unwanted and disturbing journey into his own sense of loss. Stephen Jones? bizarre narrativedescribes how absurd life can be in the new millennium. He usesconsumer goods, ads, themes and McPlaces as effective metaphors ofthe everyday.

At the age of 26, Katsuya Iwamoto established EMBODY DESIGN - the name of his office also representing the foundational concept of his designs, as 'embody' means to give concrete form to an idea. He believes that his creations can bring people together, generate communication, and build a space that people can admire; for this reason, there is no meaning in merely creating a beauitful surface. His job, instead, is to incorporate the five senses and the mind to realise an idea, making people happy through his designs. Text in English and Japanese.
