Great for a survey course.......2004-06-09
However, as much a richer source as this book is, it's not as comprehensive as a normal textbook, and essays at times seem biased. After all, the purpose of an essay is to make a point, and as such, may only be one side of the story.

Should be titled "Line and Black and White Magic".......2006-08-29
Line and color magic fell short of expectations.......2003-03-10
I don't care much for the artist style and most of the book focuses on her art. She talks about making design individual so it would have been extremely helpful to see her points made with other styles and subjects. She likes focus on people as a subject.
"The Art of Illusion A Tromple L'oeil Painting Course" by Janet Shearer does a FAR better job about explaining perspective and good details and exercises on how to do this. Line and color magic made some very good points this area and had some good examples, I just didn't think it when far enough.
What I was hoping to find was information on converting a photo or greeting card into stained glass. An example was given with a ad but it was an indoor scene without much detail. I wanted to know how to take a more complicated image and simplify it and how to place the cut lines the free/negative space. One design book mentioned shapes to avoid. I was hoping this would address difficult shapes too. It had nothing on watching out for difficult or impossible cuts. I wanted to learn about reinforcements the when and how. It was mentioned but no details were given so I still don't know anything about it.
The book claimed it talked about displaying your glass. It mentioned lighting conditions, different exposures and how they had an affect but that was all. One chapter she mentioned how a border could hold your attention in a piece, but she didn't go into border design at all. She never mentioned framing other to say it could help provide strength. There was no mention of direction of glass patterns and how to take advantage of that. Lighting is different for cabinets but she never mentioned that. She did mention that the pattern should flow between between panels as if the frame wasn't there.

The Roses: Pierre-Joseph Redoute, 1759-1840 (Jumbo)
Pierre-Joseph Redoute Manufacturer: Benedikt Taschen Verlag ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3822866296 |
Book Description
French flower painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté is regarded as one of the best of the botanical illustrators in the tradition of aristocratic patronage stretching back to the Renaissance. Between 1817 and 1824 he completed the three volumes of ³Les Roses,² his most celebrated work. This pocket-book includes 166 exquisitely reproduced plates and sports a new design and look in a bit of a departure from the jumbo volume of the same title.Customer Reviews:
Flowers of Chateau Malmaison.......2003-11-18
But anyway, Josephine de Beauharnais purchased Malmaison in 1799 for her and Napolean, and in 1800-1802, Malmaison (together with the Tuileries) was the seat of government.
Josephine planted and expanded the rose gardens of the Chateau, and was very interested in natural science. She commissioned Redoute to paint the rose garden of Malmaison (and their lilies, too).
If Redoute's work is interesting to you, you may want to research a little bit about Empress Josephine and Chateau Malmaison. At the very least, consider buying a bottle of 2000 Chateau Malmaison wine... and browse this book in a few years over a glass or two. That would be the next best thing to visiting the rose garden in person.
Exquisite!.......2002-08-09
Pierre-Joseph Redoute was the Audubon of flowers--particularly roses and lilies. His artwork is stunning and he depicts the various varieties of roses in immaculate detail. An absolutely gorgeous book, published by Taschen and printed in Italy, my version is about 5"X 8" page size and the ISBN number is 3-8228-1356-7 (English version).
For the lover of roses, any illustrated book by Pierre-Joseph Redoute will be a treasure to admire for years.

Two Greek Rhetorical Treatises from the Roman Empire: Introduction, Text, and Translation of the Arts of Rhetoric, Attributed to Anonymous Seguerianus ... Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum)
Anonymous Seguerianus , and Apsines of Gadara Manufacturer: Brill Academic Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 9004107282 |
Book Description
A revised Greek Text (the first in a century) and English translation (the first in any modern language) of the Art of Political Speech by a writer known as the Anonymous Seguerianus (ca. A.D. 200) and the Art of Rhetoric of Apsines of Gadara (ca. A.D. 230), with introduction, notes, and indices. These works provide evidence of how rhetoric was taught in Greek in the early centuries of the Roman Empire and show the continued development of an Aristotelian tradition before acceptance of the reorganization of the subject by Hermogenes. They complement each other in that the Anonymous was especially interested in debates about rhetorical theory, while Apsines' primary interest was in analysis of speeches of Demosthenes and other orators and in teaching declamation.
