A fine copy of the first printing. Pollock and Krasner at The Springs depicted on the cover. *** "Tucked away among the letters, diaries, and other ephemera in the Smithsonian's archives lies a trove of rarely seen snapshots of some of the twentieth century's most celebrated artists. Unlike the familiar official portraits and genius-at-work shots, these humble snaps capture creative giants with their guard down, in the moment, living life. Pablo Picasso stands proudly on a balcony with young daughter Maya a tiny, meticulously inked annotation penned by an unknown hand proclaims that 'he's very much in love.' Jackson Pollock morosely carves a turkey while his mother, Stella, and wife, Lee Krasner, look on. A young Andy Warhol clowns for the camera with college friend Philip Pearlstein, and in a later shot more closely resembles his famously enigmatic public self at a gallery opening with John Lennon and Yoko Ono." - Publisher.

Dust jacket, with light shelfwear, protected in a mylar cover. *** "Even in our age of emails, texts, and tweets, there is a growing fascination with the simple act of putting pen to paper. Associations such as the International Association of Master Penmen and The Society for Italic Handwriting keep the traditions of calligraphy and penmanship alive, script typefaces continue to be bestsellers, and hand-drawn display type and packaging of all sorts are having their own renaissance. The Art of Handwriting builds on this interest, revealing how the simple act of writing a letter can be an artistic act. This correspondence from the collections of the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art show that an artist might put pen to paper just as he or she would craft a line in a drawing. Brief essays from curators and art historians explore what can be learned from the handwriting of celebrated artists such as Georgia O'Keefe, Isamu Noguchi, Willem de Kooning, Thomas Eakins, Sister Corita Kent, and many others. Each letter is accompanied by an archival image of the artist or an artwork that is described in relation to the handwriting. The Art of Handwriting provides a fresh way to think about artists and their creative work." - Publisher. Size: 4to.

No other marks or stamps to this tight bright book with a faultless interior. Beautifully illustrated with multiple large color photographs, maps and drawings on every page. Kurt Amsler has won over 100 awards for his underwater photography. Three-dimensional maps in full color of each site illustrating 27 of the most spectacular dives in French Polynesia. The South Seas have always possessed an aura of unparalleled charm, the sweet scent of paradise, of stress-free living in close contact with nature and the ocean. Like green emeralds cast in the blue expanse of the Pacific, the 115 islands of French Polynesia are grouped into five archiipoelagoes -- Thegambier, Marquesas, Society, Tubuai and Tuamotu island groups -- which together cover an area of 1800 miles long and 1550 miles wide. Polynesia is most symbolized by Tahiti, the Island of Love, for centuries renowned as the paradise on earth. Divers and snorkelers in Ploynesian waters enter a magical underwater world. The underwater landscape is incredibly varied with volcanic islands and coral atolls that allow for extraordinarily rich biodiversity. The warm Pacific waters surrounding the islands are full of nutrients that sustain a wide range of unique marine species. This book is like having a dive instructor at your elbow as your read.
