This work chronicles the life and work of Lee Krasner, one of the most inventive Abstract Expressionist painters. Lee Kranser occupies a special place in Abstract Expressionism as a major female painter in a group of artists known for their macho individuality. Aproaching art-making as a forum for communicating her discoveries about the self, nature and modern life, she turn the process of her painting into a debate with herself and other artists, ranging from Picasso and Matisse to her husband, Jackson Pollock. Often painting in a large scale, she created canvases overflowing with colour and intensely personal content. Fearless in her readiness to explore new styles, she created an extraordinary range of works, from her early Cubist-based abstractions to ambitious late canvases related to the postmodernism of the 1980s. The abrupt changes in her style, coupled with her feuds with powerful critics, delayed critical acceptance of Krasner's art.

Originally a derogatory label derived from the Hawaiian word for half, Hapa is now being embraced as a term of pride by many people of Asian or Pacific Rim mixed-race heritage.

A work of intimacy, beauty, and powerful self-expression, Part Asian, 100% Hapa is the book Fulbeck says he wishes he had growing up. An introduction to the rest of the world and an affirmation for Hapas themselves who now number in the millions it offers a new perspective on a rapidly growing population.

Internationally renowned photographer Marcia Lippman was invited, in 1986, to teach as Artist-in-Residence in the Cadet Fine Arts Forum at the United States Military Academy at West Point. To the surprise of this photographer known for her ethereal, spiritually-infused work, Lippman encountered in West Point her 'visual dreamworld -- essentially a black-and-white backdrop with strong graphics and texture, and a sense of history.' She accepted the invitation, and stayed on to spend a year photographing life at the Academy: West Point is her poignant collection of photographs of cadets and cadet life -- parades and formations, summer camp maneuvers, the playing fields of sports, and the camaraderie of cadets. While Lippman's focus is the cadets and cadet life, her work also celebrates the grandeur and expansiveness of the West Point geography and architecture. The sense of place is overwhelming in her sublime framing of the splendid, impeccable grounds, and the monumental Academy buildings rising above the Hudson River. Book has minor shelf wear. Dust jacket is bent at top edge of spine.

During the années folles following World War I, Paris underwent a creative fever that brought artists and intellectuals from around the world to the City of Light. The bohemian charms of Montparnasse attracted artists such as Picasso, Chagall, and Giacometti, while a vibrant café culture provided a forum for disputes between Dadaists and Surrealists and gave rise to a group of expa­triate writers. The creative energy was all-encompassing, establishing Paris as the epicenter of new trends in the arts, a position it would occupy until World War II. This newest title in a celebrated series addresses such diverse topics as aesthetics, literature, the changing role of women, and the transformation of avant-garde culture.

Since 1994, Juxtapoz Magazine, published in San Francisco, has provided a forum for so called Lo-Brow art-work inspired by comics, hot rods, and popular culture --and has become, in the years since, the most widely read art magazine in the United States. Juxtapoz provides a voice and validation for a brand of artist, like founder Robert Williams, Mark Ryden, Coop, Camille Rose Garcia, Glen Barr, the Clayton Brothers, Isabel Samaras, Joe Coleman, and many, many others, who have not historically been accepted by the typical art-world infrastructure of collector, curator, and critic. However, since its founding, it has become the leverage point for the creation of its own infrastructure that supports Juxtapozian art with galleries around the world, collectors, increasing critical attention, and museum exhibitions at adventurous institutions. This exciting and provocative collection presents a group of artists who rejected traditional rules of the art establishment and created their own ca

We all have endless tools that teach us how to use Tableau software. Blogs posts, user forums, and online tutorials teach the technical skills, but how do we learn to design dashboards that tell intuitive data stories? Art + Data is designed to help you think like a Data Artist and leverage visual best practices that best communicate your data story. At Decisive Data, we love uncovering new data stories with clients and finding solutions to their data quandaries. When we partner with new clients, we get an opportunity to help them visualize data in new ways. While unique data sets require an innovative approach to data visualization, we find that applying a consistent, specific methodology towards design helps us develop the highest quality work. All the dashboards in this book exemplify our method, which leverages our 5 Elements of Dashboard Design: Integrity, Flow, Color, Typeface and Charm. They vary in importance as a dashboard takes shape, but all are critical in assuring that a data story is told in a compelling, accurate and attractive way. We want our final dashboards to stand out. As you approach data visualization within your organization, we hope you'll find our methodology accessible and exciting. Use this book and the following dashboard examples to learn the 5 Elements and consider how they might apply in your industry. Imagine the possibilities for beautifully displaying your data story!
