"A free-spirited wave of creative energy swept through the San Francisco art community after World War II. Challenging accepted modes of painting Abstract Expressionists produced highly experimental works that jolted the public out of its postwar complacency. Susan Landauer's comprehensive examination of this dynamic movement provides the first clear picture of the artists and influences that came together in San Francisco's invigorating world of Abstract Expressionism. Landauer argues that Abstract Expressionism resulted from a broad collective impulse rather than the inspiration of a small band of New York artists. Documenting the interchanges between the East and West Coasts she cites areas of mutual influence and shows the impact of San Francisco on the New York School including artists such as Mark Rothko and Ad Reinhardt. San Francisco's Beat poets Dixieland jazz musicians and the area's stunning vistas were essential parts of Abstract Expressionism as were artistic and spiritual contacts with Asia. Under Douglas MacAgy and Clyfford Still the California School of Fine Arts became the undisputed center of vanguard abstraction on the West Coast. Artists such as Edward Corbett Jay DeFeo James Budd Dixon Frank Lobdell and Hassel Smith produced gritty provocative images whose impact extended well beyond California. Landauer also notes the importance of Grace L. McCann Morley director of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art who opened the museum to major Abstract Expressionist figures and Jermayne MacAgy who brought local and international artists together. Enlivened by oral histories Landauer's book is a rewarding exploration of a vital period in modern art. Richly illustrated with 96 color plates it celebrates the energy and lasting impact of a special time." -- with a bonus offer-- . Univ of California Pr hardcover

Henry Doré was a French missionary and scholar of Asia. His 18-volume major work "Recherches sur les Superstitions en Chine" was one of the earliest 20th century European writings on Chinese culture and religion. Doré studied in Central China for more than two decades and was also an exceptionally talented illustrator who reproduced many pieces of Chinese art for his books. Originally published in French in a set of eighteen volumes from 1914-1938 these texts are notable for their colorful illustrations. Only volumes I through X and XIII were translated into English. The First Part in 5 volumes covers "Superstitious Practices" 1914-1918; the Second Part in 7 volumes covers "The Chinese Pantheon" 1918-1933 - the last two volumes in French; and the Third Part in 6 volumes covers Confucianism Buddhism and Taoism 1919-1938 all but volume XIII in French.
