2011159646New York: Rizzoli 2011. Hardcover. New; in shrink wrap. Color-illus. boards with peach spine. 172 pp. with color images throughout. The first monograph on the popular New York-based artist Will Cotton best known for his large-scale portraits of female nudes in candy-coated dreamlike landscapes. Will Cotton is best known for his depictions of "landscapes" composed of sweets: fondant frostings peppermint sticks marshmallows and cotton-candy clouds often inhabited by languidly posed females. Executed with flawless skill and technique Cotton's work is an optical delight and is formally resonant with the influences of seventeenth-century rococo paintings the nudes of Bouguereau and Cabanel and the classic American pin-ups of George Petty and Alberto Vargas. Cotton's figures are often inspired by models such as burlesque performers and fellow artists from the art film and music worlds. This book is a celebration of Cotton's work in all mediums: prints drawings canvases and public events. In addition to this elegantly designed trade volume a limited edition of one hundred copies accompanied by a signed and numbered print will be available through Pace Prints. Rizzoli hardcover books

20052197086Joanna Cottler Books / Harper Collins 2005. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Aviram Einar. Signed by author. First edition. Signed by author without inscription on title page. 2005 Hard Cover. We have more books available by this author!. Unpaginated. "Everyone loves Leopold who holds court at the Leipzig zoo on Sunday afternoons and tells fantastic tales of faraway places. One day a learned professor comes to town and gives a lecture on the real places he has been. Everyone is bored and either leaves or falls asleep. The indignant Doctor Morgenfresser shouts Your Leopold is a liar! and has him hauled off to jail. On trial the man explains that he never claimed any of it actually happened the people declare him Leopold the Storyteller and he is released to tell his stories to the children of the village. While Leopold's alliterative tales are mildly entertaining the moral is heavy-handed. The thickly painted woodblock-style artwork which is reminiscent of Chagall's bright colors and angular slightly floating characters is interesting and fits the style and location of the story well. Aviram does a nice job of contrasting the scenes of Leopold's imprisonment and trial with his stories by using drab colors for the former and bright jewel tones for the latter." - School Library Journal Joanna Cottler Books / Harper Collins hardcover books

A fine copy. 2003 Hard Cover. We have more books available by this author!. x 108 pp. In America notes acclaimed novelist Francine Prose we are obsessed with food and diet. And what is this obsession with food except a struggle between sin and virtue overeating and self-control--a struggle with the fierce temptations of gluttony. In Gluttony Francine Prose serves up a marvelous banquet of witty and engaging observations on this most delicious of deadly sins. She traces how our notions of gluttony have evolved along with our ideas about salvation and damnation health and illness life and death. Offering a lively smorgasbord that ranges from Augustine's Confessions and Chaucer's Pardoner's Tale to Petronius's Satyricon and Dante's Inferno she shows that gluttony was in medieval times a deeply spiritual matter but today we have transformed gluttony from a sin into an illness--it is the horrors of cholesterol and the perils of red meat that we demonize. Indeed the modern take on gluttony is that we overeat out of compulsion self-destructiveness or to avoid intimacy and social contact. But gluttony Prose reminds us is also an affirmation of pleasure and of passion. She ends the book with a discussion of M.F.K. Fisher's idiosyncratic defense of one of the great heroes of gluttony Diamond Jim Brady whose stomach was six times normal size. "The broad shiny face of the glutton" Prose writes "has been--and continues to be--the mirror in which we see ourselves our hopes and fears our darkest dreams and deepest desires." Never have we delved more deeply into this mirror than in this insightful and stimulating book. The New York Public Library/Oxford University Press hardcover books
