Greek Vases in the San Antonio Museum of Art
The San Antonio Museum of Art houses the largest and most comprehensive collection of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman antiquities in the southern United States. The first in a projected series of catalogs of the Museum's collection, this volume presents the Museum's extensive holdings of Greek and South Italian vases. Ranging in date from the Minoan and Mycenaean eras to the final flowering of vase painting in the Greek colonial states of southern Italy, the vases in the San Antonio Museum of Art reflect the historical development of the art form. Arranged chronologically, the informative catalog entries discuss each vase in detail, providing material of use to both the specialist and the general reader. In addition to the catalog entries and appendices, which have been compiled by an international team of fourteen prominent scholars, the catalog contains introductory essays by Dietrich von Bothmer, Martin Robertson, John Oakley, and A. D. Trendall. Copiously illustrated, the catalog presents each vase within its art historical and cultural context.

Psychedelic
"This eye-popping book offers a visual history of the psychedelic sensibility. In pop culture, that sensibility is associated with lava lamps, album covers, and "teashades," but it first manifested itself in the extreme colors and kaleidoscopic compositions of 1960s Op Artists. The psychedelic sensibility didn't die at the end of the 1960s; Psychedelic traces it through the day-glo colors of painters Peter Saul, Alex Grey, and Kenny Scharf, the pill and hemp leaf paintings of Fred Tomaselli, the intensified palettes of Douglas Bourgeois and Sharon Ellis, and mixed-media and new media works by younger artists in the new millennium." "Although the term "psychedelic" was coined to describe hall...

The Harmon and Harriet Kelley Collection of African American Art
." . . this collection has a narrative and descriptive thrust that is centered on the social and economic history of African Americans in the United States and presents a kaleidoscopic view of Black life and cultural history. The insistent integrity of the works included reflects a deep understanding of African American social values and celebrates with pride both a humble and a noble existence." -- Corrine Jennings African American art is reaching a wider audience today than ever before, as major exhibitions tour museums around the country.
