Making Art Safely Making Art Safely: Alternative Methods and Materials in Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Graphic Design, and Photography
Making Art Safely is a master guidebook and unique visual reference for avoiding physical risk in your studio or workplace, without sacrificing the quality of your art. This incomparable guide first identifies chemical and physical hazards currently found in art, design, printmaking, and photographic studios, then shows you how to easily replace them with nontoxic materials and safer art-making practices that will not distract from, or jeopardize, the quality of your output. Making Art Safely is also brimming with personal stories of highly accomplished artists who have reformed their art-making approaches and chosen safer, healthier ways to practice their craft. Accompanying these discussions are over 200 beautiful color and black-and-white photographs of work that has been executed "safely," with minimal risk to its creator.




Jack Yeats Jack Yeats
Jack Yeats (1871-1957) stands a a major figure in Irish 20th-century art. An isolated artist throughout his life, Yeats dominated soley through the talent, magic and inventiveness of his painting. His vision and his standing, as well as the many critical judgments during the 40 years since his death have provoked controversies which the author confronts. In this biography Bruce Arnold tells the full story of the artist's life and analyzes his prodigious output. This included not only some 1000 paintings and vast numbers of illustrations, comic cartoons, drawings and watercolours, but also seven novels and nine plays. Based on research among primary sources, this illustrated book describes the life of the son of the portrait painter John Butler Yeats and the younger brother of the poet William Butler Yeats. It provides a portrait of the complex and enigmantic artist whose reputation and artistic vision have become increasingly admired in the years since his death.

Illuminated Books of William Blake, The: The Continental Prophecies Illuminated Books of William Blake, The: The Continental Prophecies
Blake invented quasi-Biblical archetypes - Urizen, Orc, Los, Enitharmon - to personify the ambiguous forces within each individual, which determine how society functions and implements its beliefs. Their conflict is cosmic and unresolved, but in undertaking his grand design, Blake created a series of books that graphically display his complex, radical response to the revolutionary climate in which they were born. Even in Blake's time, only his intimates knew these books, whose meanings were lost to subsequent generations. The present edition serves not only to make the Prophecies widely available, but also to elucidate the circumstances and contexts of their creation. They are reproduced in the illuminated form Blake conceived.
