Dean Cornwell
The works of one of the 20th century's greatest artists are now available in this beautiful book. Dean Cornwell not only gave visual form and color to the stories, historical events, and commercial products he depicted, but his paintings expressed the aesthetic and social values of each period in which he worked. The changes in Cornwell's style and subject mirror the changes in American culture over the century. A must for librarians, artists, students, and art connoisseurs.

A Legacy of Art
For more than a century, a Gilded Age mansion on the south side of New York City's Gramercy Park has been home to the National Arts Club (NAC), its magnificent interior a refuge from hectic city life.

Abandoned by his wife, heartbroken at the loss of his child, Carew has taken to the desert to work as a mercenary, healer, and mediator between local authority figures. Content to live as a shadow of his former self, Care...

Anders Zorn
Accompanying a major retrospective of Anders Zorn’s work, this is the first volume in English to explore the Swedish Impressionist’s entire career in depth. Anders Zorn (1860–1920) is one of Sweden’s most accomplished and beloved artists. Renowned for his light, expressive watercolors, he attained mastery of the genre at an early age and later applied his techniques to oil painting. Zorn is often compared with the artists John Singer Sargent and Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida, contemporaries who also were known for their portraits of high-society figures.
