First Edition. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 201 pages; Physical desc. : xiv, 201 p. : col. Ill. , map ; 24 x 26 cm. Published in conjunction with the exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, July 21-Nov. 28, 2004. Includes bibliographical references (p. 197) and index. Subject: Olympics in art --Athletes in art --Art, Greek --Athletes --Greece --History --Exhibitions. Summary: As Athens prepares for 2004, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, proudly presents the original Olympics in all their sweaty, heroic glory. Like today, sports were a vital part of daily life in ancient Greece. Games for the Gods unearths the original traditions of athletics, highlighting both the fascinating similarities and the jarring differences between the ancient ways and our own. We might not be used to such Classical customs as associating athletic festivals with certain gods, seeing our athletes compete in the nude, or having them indulge in dirty fighting as accepted practice (then again.) , but the excitement of competition, admiration for athletic skill, and adoration of champions--as well as several of the sports--are just as familiar to fans today as they were to the ancients. The Greek games here come to life in a series of texts that explore the Olympics then and now, the origins of the games and various athletic events, and the ways in which the contests were prepared for and the victors honored. With stunning illustrations of over 140 sculptures, vases, and coins, as well as photographs of modern athletes, Games for the Gods is a unique celebration of the Olympic spirit through the ages. 2 Kg.

Hardcover. Condition: VG/VG. Rich green cloth, color illus. dust jacket, 197 pp., 110+ color plates, 44 BW illus. The exhibition for which this book serves as catalogue to, included 73 works by this American master. Martin Johnson Heade (1819-1904) had the longest career and produced perhaps the most varied body of work of any American painter of the nineteenth century. His prolific oeuvre ranges from American coastal marshes and marine landscapes to the lush tropical splendor of South and Central American landscapes, birds, and flowers. An independent thinker as well as a world traveler, Heade developed a singular approach to landscape and still life painting, adapting some elements of the style and practice of the Hudson River School to his own more Darwinian vision. While Heade had only a minor reputation in his own day and was completely forgotten for many decades after his death, he is now rightly regarded as an artist of great significance and originality, and as the only American whose landscapes and still lifes are equally important. In this elegantly illustrated book, the catalogue for the second major retrospective of Heade's work in thirty years, Theodore Stebbins and his collaborators focus on the major themes of Heade's work: seascapes, salt marshes, landscapes, tropical landscapes, the "gems" of Brazil (as hummingbirds are known), passion flowers, orchids, and his late work in Florida. There are also chapters on Heade's critics and the development of Heade's painting technique. A perfect companion book to the catalogue raisonne on his works by Stebbins. Seldom found in hardcover.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: vg. Ex-Library Second edition. Elephant Folio (19 x 13 1/2"). 1 title plate, softcover text volumes: (x) 25pp, 3 double-sided plates of index, 151 plates. Original tan cloth box portfolio with string ties and green lettering on cover and spine. Extraordinary collection of full page b/w collotype reproductions from the significant collection of Chinese paintings at the Museum of Fine Art in Boston. The collection at the Museum was initiated in 1890, when the late Dr. William Sturgis Bigelow deposited his immense collection of art objects from the Far East, including a number of fine examples of Chinese paintings, among them the great Hokké Mandara (Plate 30) and The Sixteen Arhats (Plates 110-124). In 1894 forty-four panels belonging a series of one hundred of Ancient Chinese Paintings, all painted in 1178 and lent by Daitokuji, a famous monastery in Kyoto, were exhibited and five of these important panels were acquired by the museum (Plates 77-81). When Okakura Kakuzo, a noted Japanese scholar, took charge of the Chinese department a definite effort was made to develop the collection and other important paintings were acquired, such as Ladies Beating Newly Woven Silk (Plate 46B), and the landscape by Tung Yüan (Plate 37). A large number of the paintings reproduced in this portfolio were gifts by the American painter, collector, and scholar Dr. Denman Waldo Ross, among them the scroll entitle Portraits of the Emperors, attributed to Yen Li-pen (Plates 10-24) and considered to be one of the chief art treasures of the world. The second edition of the portfolio contains four additional paintings acquired by the museum since the publication of the first edition in 1933. The text volume is an English-language index and description of all the plates with their provenance, as well as a list of contributors to the Chinese and Japanese special fund, an index of registration numbers, and a general index at rear. Text in English and Chinese. Minor foxing and sunning of portfolio with light foxing of cloth of flaps. Small spot on front cover frayed. Ex Libris on inside front cover. Plates with minor age toning not affecting images. Light bump to upper corner of plates throughout, not affecting images. Portfolio and interior in overall very good condition.
