The inspiring story of law through the ages is told in this beautiful volume through the media of painting, photography, fiction, essay, poetry, and much more. Brough together for the first time in a lavishly illustrated, large-format book are excerpts from great writings in law, such as Justinian's the Digest of Roman Law, Cicero's Laws, and Paine's Common Sense. The 198 illustrations, 113 of which are exquisitely reproduced in full color, draw upon enduring works of art related to the law, including Rembrandt's Moses and the Tables of the Law, Trumbull's The Signing of the Declaration of Independence, and Shan's The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti.

Monet a Retrospective

Stuckey, Charles F.

From the beautiful mountains and streams of Canada and the Adirondacks to the sandy beaches of New England, from the picturesque coasts of English villages to the sunny shores of the Bahamas, Winslow Homer captured in his paintings the true magnificence of nature. For more than thirty years between 1873 and 1905, Winslow Homer turned to watercolors during his working vacations, concentrating on capturing the spirit of each place he visited with both spontaneity and intensity. Many of Homer's most beautiful paintings focus on the interaction between humans and nature-a hunter carrying a deer on his shoulders, a man fishing from a small canoe, a girl lounging and reading in the grass, a young man driving cattle, a fisherman's family anxiously watching for his return. It is Homer's understanding of this important relationship between humans and nature that makes his paintings so intriguing. Winslow Homer Watercolors reproduces the best of these paintings. Large color plates allow these reproductions to be appreciated almost as much as the originals. Accompanying the more than 100 color plates is an eloquent introduction and detailed chronology of Homer's life and artistic development. This stunning volume allows one to experience nature through the eyes of one of America's greatest painters. It is a vision of nature from a century ago that is still appreciated today.

There are 304 pages of photos.The Art Quilt is a glorious gallery of the best of this fascinating new art form and the first comprehensive overview of the ambitions and achievements of quilt artists in America, Europe, and beyond. The book's lively text traces the evolution of the quilt from bedcover to museum piece, the quiltmaker from homemaker to academically trained artist, and the workshop from kitchen to studio. The art quilt continues to reinvent itself as the quilters, many of whom are profiled here along with discussions of their signature techniques, search for innovative methods of construction, use of non-traditional materials, and personally meaningful subject matter. Many of the artists speak about their work in their own words, and the quilts themselves in turn speak about the artists.
