From Library Journal\nTo mark the centenary in 1986 of the first eight major impressionist group shows, an exhibition was held in San Francisco and Washington, D.C., that contained works from the shows. What also resulted from the curators' extensive research were these two volumes recording the objects exhibited in, and the critical reactions and comments regarding, those eight shows. The first book contains all the reviews in their original languages, along with small reproductions of the works discussed. The second offers a list of the works exhibited, with illustrations and cross references to the reviews in the companion volume. Together these form a definitive record of a pivotal period in the history of modern art as well as a fine example of scholarly research and documentation. Of great use to all art and large general collections.?Paula Frosch, Metropolitan Museum of Art Lib., New York

Then, in the 8th century, came a mysterious collapse. Even knowledge of the original name was lost: Teotihuacan, "City of the Gods", was a title bestowed by the Aztecs six hundred years later. Published in conjunction with an exhibition organized by The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, this volume brings together for the first time the fruits of researches that are at last unveiling Teotihuacan. Over a dozen distinguished scholars examine every aspect of the city's culture, from its role as an urban centre, its religion and writing system, to its imposing pyramid-temples and superlative art. A splendid array of rarely seen masterpieces, from jewellery, greenstone masks and elegant blackware to figurines and ela
