A New Book for Enjoyment and Posterity 
Joyous, profound, gorgeous and intense, "Dorothy Gillespie" uses 50 large-scale color plates, 35 text illustrations and seven essays to condense this prominent artist's impressive body of work into an eye-popping display of what one critic called "visual music." 
Gillespie's art is featured in many public spaces and also in many private, corporate and museum collections throughout the U.S. With insightful text and vivid photographs, this 160-page book (8-1/2" X 12") highlights the artist's fascinating life as a successful painter/sculptor, arts advocate, and transforming force in the women's art movement. 
Whether picketing the Whitney Museum or curating women's art exhibitions, Gillespie has made her mark on art history, helping to open the art world to women artists. Entwined with historical accounts of her involvement in trend-setting art movements, including "environments" and "happenings," this book illuminates the life and times of a visionary artist whose "sculptured paintings" and "painted sculptures" have earned her well-deserved recognition as a major artist of our time.

Hieronymus Bosch was painting frightful, yet vaguely likable monsters long before computer games were ever invented, often with a touch of humor. His works are assertive statements about the mental illness that befalls any man who abandons the teachings of Christ. With a life that spanned 1450 to 1516, Bosch experienced the thick of the highly charged Renaissance and its wars of religion. Medieval tradition and values were crumbling, paving the way to thrust man into a new universe where faith lost some of its power and much of its magic. Bosch set out to warn doubters of the perils awaiting all and any who lost their faith in God. His favorite allegories were hell, heaven and lust. He believed that everyone had to choose between one of two options: heaven or hell. Bosch brilliantly exploited the symbolism of a wide range of fruits and plants to lend sexual overtones to his themes, which author Virginia Pitts Rembert meticulously deciphers to provide readers new insights into this fascinating artist and his works.

This exceptional book on Mondrian's work concentrates on the artist's American period. By birth a Dutchman, Piet Mondrian arrived in New York in September 1940. He died there four years later.A pioneer of abstract art, he was -- like Wassily Kandinsky and Kasimir Malevich -- one of those Western painters remarkable as much for the work he produced as for his writings on the theory of art. Mondrian's celebrity was affirmed immediately after his death, when the first retrospective exhibition of his works given by the New York Museum of Modern Art in 1945 afforded him both global recognition and a place in history.In this book, containing more than 400 reproductions, Mondrian's oeuvre finds new life and a new opportunity, as befits a master whom some would call the artist of his century.Virginia Pitts Rembert, through the skill of being able to pass on her own research and expertise, reveals Mondrian's secret strengths both as an artist and as an innovator.
