Description:
United Kingdom: Taj Books. New in Near Fine dust jacket. 2011. Unknown. Hardcover. This beautiful book has a pictorial cover with matching jacket. The jacket has a diagonal crease that ends in a 1" tear at the top near the gutter. ; Gustav Klimt was raised in poverty in mid-nineteenth century Vienna, but his precocious artistic talent raised him from the gutter to the heights of Austrian society. He was initially a generic painter of historical scenes, but soon devised his own unique style featuring semi-nude women in mystical, gold-wrapped abstract landscapes that either enchanted or outraged his audience. His exotically beautiful women captured the sensuality and excitement of the time and electrified Viennese society. Many of Klimt's paintings were destroyed at the end of World War II but they remain at least as photographs to show the world what had been lost. ; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; 96 pages .

Description:
Garden Ciy, NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc.. Very Good in Fair dust jacket. 1980. Hardcover. There are special Tiffany pieces not well known - the "lost" works of Louis Tiffany himself, that are, in a real sense, the core of his astonishing achievement. They comprise his personal portfolio - objects made from his original designs for exhibition, private commissions for the studios, or for use in Tiffany's own homes. Many have vanished outright, accidentally or purposely destroyed in the years following Tiffany's death. Many have remained unidentified, and many are simply neglected today. This book re-evaluates his art in terms of his personal work - stained glass, mosaics, blown glass, pottery, jewelry, and enamels. Tiffany's efforts in interior design are covered, as are his easel paintings and his doomed but inspired dream to create a permanent residence retreat for working artists. Over 200 color plates and over 60 black & white photos present a vivid display…
