I would recomend this book to anyone with a intrest in fashion. It is presonaly my favarate book i own. the images are outstanding and the content is to my mind fasternating. i have leart so much about the history of the unwearable garmant from this book, the wrighter is easy to understand and detail is exstencive. this book to me contains every piece of avent-gard fashion i would consider of value to modern fashion and the history behind it /how it as a piece of work it placed within history. I would have loved to have seen this exibition but feel that this is really the next best thing. This is most def. the most exciting book i have had the plesure to come across.

Giotto to Durer: Early Renaissance Painting in The National Gallery: Early European Painting in the National Gallery (National Gallery of London (Paperback))

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Museums and Collections
by: J Dunkerton

July 01, 1991
This is a beautiful, sumptuous book, crammed with detail and excellent colour reproductions. Other readers mightn't go for all the technical information but I can't get enough of it. I also prefer the discussions of individual works which occupy a large part of this volume -- its companion, 'Dürer to Veronese', takes a more synoptic view, which tends to obscure the fact that these are surveys of a collection.

That's my only quibble, and it isn't really with the book, which is about as accomplished at it could be -- so good, in fact, that it's tempting to read it as a textbook of the whole period. Much of the material is of general relevance, of course; but don't forget that many of the major works from this period aren't in galleries ... Read More:

Painting the Word: Christian Pictures and Their Meanings (National Gallery of London)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Museums and Collections
by: J Drury

February 01, 2002
This book is without doubt one of the more beautifully prepared and printed books in my collection. Done by the Yale University Press in association with the National Gallery of London, virtually every page is a treasure. There are nearly two hundred full-colour-process reproductions of artworks throughout the text, and every page (not just the colour plates) are heavy bond, high-gloss stock that shows the ink and colour with vibrancy and depth.

John Drury spent a career at both Cambridge and Oxford dealing in matters of theology, ecclesiology, liturgy, and art. I discovered Drury's book while attending a course at my own seminary on the church and the arts, and kept finding myself frustrated at the rapid pace we would go through topics ... Read More:
