The slim volume of less than one hundred pages and small format is in a way in harmony with the minimalist aesthetics of the charismatic architect. The book is a distillate of beauty.
The exquisite colour photographs display the magic of the spare aesthetics, elegance and strength of Ando's buildings and surrounding landscape. The accompanying text is succinct and incisive and does justice to the architect and its creations through dissecting and providing a penetrating analysis of the elements that characterize Ando's architecture and individual buildings. In all, nineteen projects are presented covering a broad spectrum of Ando's work comprising houses, apartment buildings, churches, temples, museums, art foundations, ... Read More: >>More Details |

No wonder this book was voted Practical Art Book of The Year in 2007, it is a book to grace any artist's shelf and has become a firm favourite with me. There is a very good reason for this, I love to paint but I do not consider myself to be good at drawing. I have therefore, always opted for 'impressions' of flowers. I have tried many drawing course books, only to fail at almost every step. The big difference is that this book really works and at last I am proud at my drawing efforts.
This book is for all levels of botanical illustrators and it is full of practical information that is easy to apply to your own projects. Advice given includes how to set up a studio, mixing colour and composition. The steps are easy to follow - come on, if I can ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is an amazing book. I hadn't realised how many artists or all genre had manic depression.
Yes the type is a tad small which made me have to really concentrate to read it but I found myself enjoying my journeys to work as I went through it. Even now it is lovely to dip into and become inspired. It is defintiely worth reading if you want to see another side of artists and it certainly doesn't excuse anything they have done. >>More Details |

Garth Ennis forewards this issue. He speaks of growing up with John Wayne and Clint Eastwood and of a long desire to add his own hero to the Western canon. In Saint of Killers he may just have managed to add a gunslinger who can stand toe to toe with them all. The first page of the elderly pizza owner recounting the tail - having grown apart from his hot shot lawyer son floored me.
The other two character preludes were entertaining, but it's the saint, barrel still smoking that walked away with me after the last page. >>More Details |

A friend of my father's loaned this book to him, recommending it very highly. I picked it up when I was visiting my parents and became glued to it. I read it in one sitting because it is written and presented in a very digestible way, and the content is fascinating.
Whether you agree with Hockney's conclusions or not his thesis presents some very interesting ideas and he made me look at art in a slightly different way. I have a degree in Art History and it was great to have my perceptions challenged. I particularly like the way that Hockney emphasised that artists had to make a living and were, in the final analysis, producing something that needed to meet specific client requirements - in a satisfactory period of time. It ... Read More: >>More Details |

As a newcomer to portrait drawing, I was struggling with the features. I bought several books most of which were mediocre to disappointing. Drawing Portraits by Giovanni Civardi was by far and away the best value for money. I also bought Portraits by Susie Hodge. I enjoyed it but for me, it just doesn't compare to Giovanni Civardi. At the other end of the scale 'How to draw anything' by Mark Linley is excellent value for money at £1.99 - it contains some very useful stuff on features of the face as well as just about anything you might want to draw.

I found this book very inspiring, different from most other books I have bought since starting to paint two years ago. Ann Blockley has given me a new dimension to my painting, now I try to be more adventurous.This book explains clearly how to incorporate different techniques, I certainly found no problems in trying them all. GREAT!

Summary : a fantastic resource illustrating and discussing a huge range of contemporary paintings, painting styles and painters
Reviewer : aging fine art student I love this book and refer to it constantly. It is a treasure trove of images with comprehensive information about each painter and her or his work. The narratives, contributed by international artists, critics, curators and academics, cover influences and statements about the paintings as well as biographical information. It's definitely a fairly detailed reference work rather than a coffee table book (if you want something to leave open looking trendy and knowledgeable something like Hoptman's 'Eight Propositions' might be a better buy). As a large, thick, heavy paperback ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is a great Calvin and Hobbes selection, guaranteed to keep you laughing! This selection is published with the cartoons sized down to fit a lot in a small-sized book. If you have enjoyed any of the other Calvin and Hobbes books, then go for it! It is a great selection, and keeps up to the standard of the others. I keep on rereading this - I must have read it about 20 times and I am not sick yet!
