White and color-illustrated dust jacket with black and gray lettering. 136 pp. 95 illustrations 65 in full color. "Using a completely original approach to the subject Bailey examines more than fifty works of art - some famous masterpieces and some little-known works - to learn how their frames many of them designed or made by the artists themselves relate to the pictures they surround. The use of traditional frames is discussed in exquisite detail even those that diminish the pictures they are supposed to enhance. It is not surprising that certain artists - among them Michelangelo Ingres Church Degas van Gogh Klimt Whistler Matisse Seurat and Mondrian - designed frames for their own pictures. Klee Miro Kahlo Dali Calder and Hockney incorporated actual frames into the works themselves."-Jacket. Abrams hardcover books

"I want buildings that will be exciting seventy-five years from now" financier Howard Ahmanson told visual artist Millard Sheets offering him complete control of design subject decoration and budget for his Home Savings and Loan branch offices. The partnership between Home Savings-for decades the nation's largest savings and loan-and the Millard Sheets Studio produced more than 160 buildings in California Texas Florida New York Ohio Illinois and Missouri over the course of a quarter century. Adorned with murals mosaics stained glass and sculptures the Home Savings and Savings of America branches displayed a celebratory vision of community history and community values that garnered widespread acclaim. 'Banking on Beauty' presents the first history of this remarkable building program. Drawing extensively on archival materials site visits and oral history interviews Adam Arenson tells a fascinating story of how the architecture and art were created the politics of where the branches were built and why the Sheets Studio switched from portraying universal family scenes to celebrating local history amid the dramatic cultural and political changes of the 1960s. Combining urban history business history and art and architectural history Banking on Beauty reveals how these institutions shaped the corporate and cultural landscapes of Southern California where many of the branches were located.

1898List414Oraibi 1898. Platinum print 6 ¼ x 8 14 inches on 9 ¼ x 11 ½ inch sheet titled and dated in the margin in ink. The Illinois-born photographer Adam Clark Vroman moved to California in 1892 hoping that the dry climate would provide relief for his tuberculosis. He set up a studio in Pasadena and began a series of trips through California Arizona and New Mexico photographing the landscapes and residents notably the Hopi Zuni and Pueblo people. He would often travel with his friend Charles Fletcher Lummis editor of the Los Angeles Times and an amateur photographer himself. He worked for the Bureau of American Ethnology on two projects one in New Mexico at Enchanted Mesa and the other photographing cave dwellings in Arizona. Vroman's photographs of American Indians are notable for their lack of romantic embellishment as unlike many other Euro-American photographers of Indian subjects he did not try to imbue the photographs with sentimentality. <br /> <br /> This photograph from one of his trips in 1898 shows a Hopi Snake Dance in Oraibi Arizona. The Snake Dance held annually in late August is part of a larger ceremony mostly held in private. Many artists and photographers photographed the Snake Dance during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and publications such as Harpers Weekly and The Saturday Review wrote of the ceremonies. Vroman's photograph is notable for the maturity and lack of exotification with the dancers shown within the village landscape surrounded by onlookers. <br /> <br /> Overall a fine example with minimal wear matted and framed. unknown books
