"Contemporary Lithographs was a pioneering scheme set up by Robert Wellington who had helped make Zwemmer's the centre for modern art in the 1930s and the artist John Piper. Their inspiration was to take good quality prints into schools across Britain. Together they commissioned and produced two series of prints with in some cases Piper taking on the task of coaching artists who were not familiar with the auto-lithography process. They involved many of the Zwemmer artists as well as their own friends: Edward Bawden the Nash brothers Eric Ravilious Graham Sutherland and John Piper himself." "This beautifully produced book reproduces all the works for the first time and traces the scheme from its ambitious beginnings to its closure at the start of WWII. With its companion The School Prints it will appeal to anyone interested in Modern British Art and sit perfectly alongside several titles in the ACC Design series."--Jacket.

BW-photographic boards with black and white lettering. 144 pp. BW illustrations. "Black Power Flower Power" documents two of the most fascinating stories of 20th century America's cultural history-the growth of the Black Liberation Movement embodied by the Black Panthers and the 1967 blossoming of hippie "flower power" in San Francisco's Haight Ashbury district. Photographers Pirkle Jones and Ruth-Marion Baruch masterfully documented the early days of the Black Panther Party in the San Francisco bay area. This significant movement changed the fabric of the United States. Their photographs profoundly chronicle the influence on American social political and cultural life and suggest the universal theme of family commitment and hope for the future. Ruth-Marion Baruch's photographs of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury during the Summer of Love in 1967 depicts a Mecca transformed by the psychedelic music fashion and anti-war sentiment of the counterculture movement. -Amazon.
