Joseph Cornell's Vision of Spiritual Order
The "boxes" and collages constructed by Joseph Cornell (1903-72) are among the most intriguing and beguiling works of art made this century. Drawing on the widest range possible of primary material and interviews, author Lindsay Blair gives us the most detailed picture yet of an artist whose boxes were built from a mass of intensely felt personal yearning, attachments, fears, and disappointments. 34 color and 90 b&w illustrations.
Townsend
Missy Tipton Green and Paulette Ledbetter recall the rich past in this fascinating pictorial history. Situated in Tuckaleechee Cove, one of several limestone windows on the northern base of the Smoky Mountains, is Townsend, Tennessee, also known as the Peaceful Side of the Smokies.

Porter was a feisty correspondent, who fearlessly entered the intellectual discourse of his time." ---From the introduction by David Lehman "In this lifetime of letters, Fairfield Porter reveals the complexity and passion of a protagonist in a novel by Dostoevsky or Henry James." ---Jane Freilicher Fairfield Porter (1907-75) has been called by poet John Ashbery "perhaps the major American artist of the century." He was also known as a gifted art critic. Beyond shedding light on his personal views, this collection of Fairfield Porter's...
