I am definitely not alone in welcoming Art & Ideas as a precious set of teaching tools."—Joachim Pissarro, Yale University "Phaidon's series may prove to be the pick of the crop.

Phaidon Press Ltd The Preference for the Primitive
Book SynopsisProfessor Gombrich's last book and first narrative work in over 20 years.Trade Review'The great strength of this book is its historical sweep … of interest to specialists and general readers alike.' (Colin Rhodes, Loughborough University, The Burlington Magazine)'A masterpiece of skilful discourse.' (Nigel Spivey, The Daily Telegraph)'Gombrich is as usual masterly and vastly erudite.' (Martin Gayford, The Sunday Telegraph)'Gombrich brings his massive learning to bear on a very interesting set of questions.' (The Spectator)'Gombrich remains a giant of art history who tried to demystify the processes by which art is made. If Winckelmann yearned for 'noble simplicity' in art, and if Wackenroder preached 'pious simplicity', then Gombrich can be regarded as the High Priest of 'rational simplicity'.' (James Hall, Times Literary Supplement)'Throughout, Gombrich's account is supported by his easy familiarity with the writings of philosophers and aestheticians, of anthropologists and psychologists, but in the end what gives his approach such a rich tension is the fact that he remained fundamentally and unfashionably committed to the idea that an increase in mimetic skill represented a form of progress, and that the term primitive did not need to be hedged about with guilt-wracked inverted commas.' (Apollo)'Has there been an individual who could match Gombrich's gargantuan grasp of classical sources, the sheer scope of his reading? No … The Preference for the Primitive … is lively and can be assimilated by artists, art historians and general readers alike.' (Modern Painters)'The book is a remarkable one, demonstrating in full measure Gombrich's extraordinary erudition … acts as a convenient summary of many of the themes and issues to which he devoted a long and exceptionally distinguished career.' (Charles Saumarez Smith, Director, National Gallery, London, Literary Review)'Take(s) on just about the weightiest and most controversial subject currently available for art-historical picking-over. For Gombrich to delay until his final book before taking on the appetite for perfectionism is akin to Michelangelo waiting until he was 92 before embarking upon the Sistine ceiling.' (Waldemar Januszczak, The Sunday Times)'The Preference for the Primitive deserves a place within any art library, completing the life’s work of an important twentieth century writer.' (Art Documentation)'Gombrich narrates these enchanting chapters in the history of taste with his usual clarity and ear for the eloquent quotation.' (The New Republic)'Over the last half century we have come to expect from Gombrich work of extensive and detailed scholarship, nuanced, balanced, and rich in insight. This, his final work, upholds the standard he set … This work is a final treasure for all interested in art and the history of ideas.'

Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group Burning Lights
Book SynopsisThis charming memoir by Bella Chagall recalls her childhood in Vitebsk, the Russian-Jewish market town where she and her husband, Marc Chagall, grew up. Her warm reminiscences of Jewish family life in pre-Revolutionary Russia are illustrated with thirty-six pen-and-ink drawings by Marc Chagall. Bella Chagall, a gifted author and actress, was the youngest of seven children born to a well-to-do Hasidic family. While living in France in the 1930s, the Chagalls conceived the idea of commemorating their native town with a book. The title they chose was Burning Lights, an allusion to the festive candles that in their childhood had lit up the holidays of the Jewish year.

Louisiana State University Press William Spratling His Life and Art Selected Essays in Economic and Social History Southern Biography Series
Book SynopsisIn this lavishly illustrated biography of silversmith and graphic artist William Spratling (1900-1967), Taylor D. Littleton reintroduces one of the most fascinating American expatriates of the early twentieth century. Best known for his revolutionary silver designs, Spratling influenced an entire generation of Mexican and American silversmiths and transformed the tiny village of Taxco into the Florence of Mexico. Littleton widens the context of Spratling''s popular reputation by examining the formative periods in his life and art that preceded his brilliant entrepreneurial experiment in the Las Delicias workshop in Taxco, which left a permanent mark on Mexico''s artistic orientation and economic life.Spratling made a fortune manufacturing and designing silver, but his true life''s work was to conserve, redeem, and interpret the ancient culture of his adopted country. He explained for North American audiences the paintings of Mexico''s modern masters and earned distinction as a learned
