  • Vincent van Goghby Victoria Charles

    Parkstone International 2011; US$ 7.00

    Beyond the sunflowers, irises and portrait of Doctor Gachet, there is the man Van Gogh, signified by his fragility and talent. From his birth in 1853 to his death in 1890, the Post-Impressionist Van Gogh shaped 19th-century concepts of painting over the course of several years with his creativity and technique. He became a forerunner of the Expressionists, the Fauves and modern art. Today, however, Van Gogh remains the symbol of a painter tortured by illness, by others and, especially, by himself. Come explore Post-Impressionism with a beautiful collection of paintings from this creative genius. The vibrant colours and whimsical brushstrokes within the paintings provide insight into the volatile nature of Van Gogh?s state of mind. more...

  • Riveraby Gerry Souter

    Parkstone International 2011; US$ 5.00

    Diego Rivera is celebrated by the author Gerry Souter as a virtuoso Mexican muralist, who brought to the medium his intense story-telling talent and ideological convictions to express legends and myths.

The Mega Square Rivera provides a complete overview of this famous artist?s work and life. Its small and practical format makes... more...

    Knopf Publishing Group 2006; US$ 17.99

    The definitive portrait of one of the most important cultural figures in American history.

In his superb biography, Neal Gabler shows us how, over the course of two decades, Disney revolutionized the entertainment industry. In a way that was unprecedented and later widely imitated, he built a synergistic empire that combined film, television, theme parks, music, book publishing, and merchandise.
