Harvey Dinnerstein is one of America's most respected painters and teachers and his mastery of classical painting techniques has won the admiration of artists and students throughout America. In this richly illustrated book Dinnerstein discusses his concepts drawing and painting techniques and the evolution of his personal approach to painting. Dinnerstein begins by describing his studio.lighting books easel and antique casts and the story behind their acquisition.in a detailed description of his environment that becomes a kind of self-portrait in its own way. Then he devotes a full chapter to each of his favorite painting media.drawing pastel and oil.and his varied approaches to them. Next in a stimulating and provocative chapter Dinnerstein explores the creation of his pictorial ideas.from sketch to finished painting.including how his thoughts evolve from drawings into a painting or series of paintings; how he develops a point of view in a portrait; how he creates a theme; and how he paints a series of painting based on a particular theme such as the seasons. Then Dinnerstein invites he reader to watch as he paints six 'works in progress' in oil and pastel with every stage reproduced in full-color: a male and female nude a portrait of a man and woman an autumn cityscape and a self-portrait. A gallery of his most brilliantly painted oil paintings pastels and drawings reveals the full scope of his technique.

1999ABE-12714957159The Free Press New York 1999 Clean and tight unread looking hardback first edition of this RARE IN THE UK book. A little shop aged but there is no evidence of it having been read. Ruefully wise as is to be expected of this discursive and visionary writer. He is brilliant when writing about Le Guin or Heinlein and he is knowing and humorous; a rare combination. From the supernatural tales of Edgar Allen Poe to the utopian dreams and technological nightmares of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne to today when it has become a multi-billion dollar global entertainment industry. While he highlights the genre s predictive successes he emphasises its cultural role as both a lens and a medium for the very rapid changes driven by modern technology. Disch traces sci-fi s role in modern life and explains how it has become a cultural battlefield even helping us to adjust to new social realities. But Disch is also critical of the genre and sees its darker expression in the appearance of suicidal UFO cults. Behind the spaceships and aliens Disch reveals the blueprints of the dizzying postmodern future we have already begun to inhabit. This is in a clean and tight cloth two colour binding but it has one slight defect. This may be a production fault. It looks like a 'bumped' corner.
