Max Ernst: Dada and the Dawn of Surrealism (Art) ReviewFor all those who want to learn about the position of Max Ernst within Surrealism this is an essential book. Scholarly essays by Werner Spies (arguably the foremost authority on Max Ernst) and William Camfield, who writes in fascinating detail about the transition period when the artist moved from Dada into Surrealism. The period comes alive with rare photographs and anecdotes about the struggles of Max Ernst to survive in Germany after the first world war and his efforts to reach Paris, the promised land. Max Ernst, a true pioneer of many of the art techniques taught nowadays in artschools, such as frottage and collage, is celebrated in this book with not only almost 200 colour plates of many of his masterpieces, but also many lesser known works which show how he constructed his collages. Added to this are inumerable black and white illustrations of the sources for many of his most famous paintings. As Max Ernst never wrote an autobiography,a book such as this is a must for all those who desire to know something more about the artist who is quoted on page 28 as saying "A painter is lost when he finds himself." An artist difficult to know, but this book goes a long way in bridging that gap.Max Ernst: Dada and the Dawn of Surrealism (Art) Overview

Jose Guadalupe Posada and the Mexican Broadside (Art Institute of Chicago) ReviewI love Jose Guadalupe Posada's work, but this book just scratched the surface of it. However, I did enjoy it. It's a short and easy-read book to help you become aquainted with Posada's work.

Treasures of 19th- and 20th-Century Painting: The Art Institute of Chicago (Tiny Folios Series) ReviewThe Tiny Folio series is simply wonderful! As a frequent traveler who loves to discuss (share) art, I make it a habit to bring these miniature art books with me whenever I can.
This version showcases the Art Institute's well known pieces. Included are works from John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassat, Toulouse-Latrec, Gauguin, Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, Pissarro, Degas, and Suerat (A Sunday on La Grande Jatte).
Okay, that's a long list, but it's just a sample of what's inside!
The book offers a delightful mix of styles, concluding with Warhol, Mondrian, Lichtenstein and Pollock.
The pictures are, of course, quite small, but the book is too! That's what makes it so lovely! It can go anywhere. And never have I seen a better representation of such a variety of artists at such an inexpensive price.
(And, this is a book you can let the smallest toddler look at! It's just right for little hands!)Treasures of 19th- and 20th-Century Painting: The Art Institute of Chicago (Tiny Folios Series) Overview

The Age of French Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Art Institute of Chicago Review"Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 'Jeremiah, what do you see?'
And I said, 'I see a branch of an almond tree.'" -- Jeremiah 1:11 (NKJV)
The Art Institute of Chicago was the first museum that I ever had the pleasure to visit that had a deep collection in 19th century French art, especially Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. I was in rapture while in the museum and for days afterwards. While in college, I had the immense joy of working near the Art Institute for a summer so that I could even stop by during my lunches. My fascination grew. Since then, no trip to Chicago is ever planned without trying to include a visit to the Art Institute.
Until now, I had no powerful way to refresh and to expand my recollection of these marvelous works when not in Chicago. In this volume, I was delighted to learn more about the collection's formation, to find outstanding reproductions (including many full-page magnifications of key details), and lots of commentaries that go well beyond the usual "chat" label or recorded observations. In particular, the painting-related essays are excellent at expanding the viewer's ability to "see" added aspects of these marvelous works. I felt that I had never enjoyed a finer visit to the Art Institute to enjoy so many of my favorite works. The treatments of Seurat and Monet are especially outstanding.
Well done!!The Age of French Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Art Institute of Chicago Overview

Master Paintings in the Art Institute of Chicago ReviewThis is a great coffee table book that includes many important paintings of Art Institute of Chicago. All the images are in color, and the story of each painting and the artist is given. Each painting is described on a single page, and therefore the pictures are sufficiently large and detailed. The book starts with 15th century religious paintings, and progresses to include well known impressionist paintings such as Seurat's Sunday on La Grande Jatte and Renoir's Two sisters. It also has a section on 20th century paintings. Not a substitute to seeing the actual works, but it is close...Master Paintings in the Art Institute of Chicago Overview
