A Delightful and Beautiful Book.......2007-07-22
In the 23 essays in JUST LOOKING: ESSAYS ON ART, John Updike is a delightful guide and insightful companion as he reviews art across the centuries. Throughout, Updike's voice is totally engaging, informed but never pedantic, respectful but not reverential. Here is a sample:
o "From his art, we might imagine him [Renoir] a plump, rosy, placid man, but in fact, he was bony-faced, nervous, reactionary, and restless."
o "This painting of Wertheimer tells us what we have been missing in even the more admirable of Sargent's portraits: an at-ease emotional possession of the subject that enables him to concentrate on making a painting. Where no warming familiarity exists, a certain distancing finesse takes over."
o "In 1944, Robert Motherwell wrote of his friend Jackson Pollock, `His principal problem is to discover what his true subject is. And since painting is his thought's medium, the resolution must grow out of the process of his painting itself.' Three years later, in sudden full stride, Pollock could state, `When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing.' Pollock painting is the subject of Pollock's paintings."
o "[Modigliani] ...drank while he painted and liked to complete a canvas in one sitting."
o "As his eyes increasingly dimmed, Degas perforce experimented with roughness of execution, never losing his underlying integrity of drawing."
o "Faces gave [Fairfield] Porter a lot of trouble and his paint thickens as he worries over them."
JUST LOOKING: ESSAYS ON ART is also beautiful book with great reproductions. These tie seamlessly to Updike's commentary and enable the reader to fully appreciate his wonderful insights.
If you can't get to your local museum to visit the Vermeers (thank you, New York), this book is a superb alternative.
A Fine Art Critic Too!.......2000-08-06
Painting is to Updike what music was to Anthony Burgess: not so much a second love as a parallel infatuation. One always knew it from his prose: from the references to painters and painterly styles, and from the conspicuously visual quality of his description. It is good, then, to have this collection of the writer's thoughts on selected artists and art-works. He is neither too academic nor too personal in his opinions, and speaks with authority but without jargon. Of the longer essays, 'Something Missing' struck me as particularly good - a tentative, penetrating, careful pondering about what it is in John Singer Sargent's work that misses the mark of great art. The shorter pieces offer bite-sized reflections on single paintings or objects: 'Some Rectangles of Blue' discusses an abstract work by Richard Diebenkorn in such a way that one not only feels enlightened about the particular work but about abstract painting generally. As a critic, Updike has a refreshing freedom from academic orthodoxy - 'We are on the verge here of poster art', he reflects on some of Renoir - and as a (verbal) artist himself has licence to entertain as well as instruct with his prose. The book is lavishly illustrated with uncompromising colour reproductions and, of all his books, the most pleasant simply to hold in the hands.

NOT for the serious study of Alice illustrations.......2001-04-21
What a dissapointment this book was, having bought it online, I was unable to flip through it's pages first. If you want to seriously study the various illustrators of Alice, don't bother with this book.
First, none of the illustrations are captioned and you have to look up the credits in the back. Yet the foldout page with pictures of Alice from many illustrators is not credited at all, including a lovely image by Mabel Lucie Attwell (who's images do not appear any where else in the book.)Even the cover credits is missing one of the illustrators.
Secondly, one gets the feeling that many if not most of the images are cropped (many times in odd ways) for the sake of their precious layout. Others have touted the design of the book as being reflective of Alice's quirky world. I rather suspect the designer was trying to be trendy, with grunge-like fonts, color overlays on many of the illustrations and some used behind the text as backdrops. It just makes for difficult reading. I didn't even like the uncoated paper it was printed on.
And lastly, don't expect any discussion about the illustrations or the illustrators that created them. Even the great Tenniel himself was only alotted a paragraph or two. The only other discussion is on pages 80-81. Arthur Rackham was allowed a paragraph (and only one image) as well as Barry Moser, yet none of Moser's work was included in the book! Go figure.
If you really want to look at some lovely Alice images, you'd be better of with "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland -A Classic Illustrated Edition" compiled by Cooper Edens. At least you get to see the whole image the way it was intended.
analyzing Alice.......2000-01-01
It is not for those who have not read the book itself nor watched the movie. It is a book for those who question the 'queer ways' of Lewis Carroll's masterpiece. Alice in Wonderland has been one of those classic books that most took for granted, but it is not really just for kids who'd be amused by the cheshire cat and all the other interesting characters. The book, The Art of Alice in Wonderland, rekindles what the real sense of this wonderful story is: It is written by an adult to let kids see and understand the humor of the ways of adults. The book analyzes the representation that Lewis Carroll gave to each of the events and the characters. It is a not as fictitious as most think. There are events in the book that are actually seen in our lives, often unconciously by most of us. The author shows how the conversations between Alice and the other characters and the way Carroll manipulated words were not only used as ornaments but as priceless lessons taught by a marvelous teacher. It also explains how the author came up with such a colorful world and how he built a world for children that adults should come to know about and eventually learn from. I must admit though that it is quite a disadvantage for the reader to be confused by the book's artistic layout. Although the layout was very much in line with the book's imaginary, chaotic and unique setting, it prevents more serious readers and ones who have difficulty to follow mazes, to read what I can say is but just a small and yet important part of what Lewis Carroll really wanted to convey. The Art of Alice in Wonderland is not just a book for those who'd like to see the different ways Alice has been interpreted by artists. It shows the art of the writer, Lewis Carroll himself, in revealing to us in a satirical and very queer way that sometimes the personalities that pass us by are sometimes nothing but a pack of cards.
The title is misleading.......1999-11-28
I was disappointed as soon as I saw this book. I have just now, after several months, begun to look at it more closely.
At first, I thought that the art that was included in the book was from some kinds of modern cartoonish sources that didn't show the variety of assays made at this subject over the years. On second look, these are many many different applications, including advertising, which is interesting after all.
Also, I was disappointed to see that the book was filled with a breathy essay that was, as far as I could see, a superficial rehash of things I have read many times already. But, I see that it is more a discussion of the many venues that have taken the character images in "Alice" for inspiration. Still, the copy is very difficult to read because of graphic issues. I think this book might be a paean to Madison Avenue, etc. Not the usual voice one hears discussing our "beloved" Alice, but potentially a fresh angle.
But, in closing, the final disappointment, though the title of the book gives the art first billing (and the ruminations of our author no mention at all), all attributions as to the sources of the different representations are not captioned, nor are they in the body of the essay, but are in an appendix at the back of the book. Tacky.
A beautiful and entertaining look at Alice's world.......1999-04-14
This is the most stimulating, and fun book about Alice and her art that I have seen. Alice's topsy-turvy world and it's inhabitants are vividly depicted in a book layout that is similar to the shifting, colorful, and unexpected aspects of the art and the stories. I found it to be very informative and entertaining, and enjoyed the rich variety of interpretations different artists bring to these amazing stories.
Alice as Art.......1999-03-10
Personally I own and particuarly enjoy this title. It displays an array of Alice-art and text in a graphically overwhelming sense that I believe is very close to the nature of the story itself, very anti-logically yet pleasingly.

Detailed, vivid, emotional, unique and magnetic! Sas's gorgeous and unique body of work strikes you with its modernity, spunk and soulfulness all at the same time!

GET THIS BOOK!!!.......2007-03-17
Sas Christian is hands down one of the greats of the Pop Surrealist movement.
"Looking In" is a testament to her unique way of presenting an emotionally charged world through a simple gaze of the eye. This book eloquently chronicles the artist's enthralling body of work form her early beginnings to present time. A visual jawdropper that is sure to leave the reader gasping in awe of Sas Christian's skill, wit and, at times, tongue-in-cheek humor.
An impressive collection of haunting images by an already stellar artist at the dawn of her career.
You won't find better eye candy for your money.
Book Description
Many of the terms applied by art historians and curators to describe prints, drawings, and watercolors are not readily understood by the majority of exhibition visitors and art enthusiasts. These terms can also be difficult to find in reference books. This publication, which is part of the
popular Looking At series of art glossaries, defines and illustrates in one portable volume the most commonly used technical terms related to these three media.
This handy reference guide features over one hundred entries--alphabetically arranged from aquatint to wood engraving--that concisely explain the processes and materials utilized in creating prints, drawings, and watercolors. This edition, revised from a book originally published in 1989, has
been updated with additional color illustrations and new entries on digital printmaking and copies and fakes. It is richly illustrated with objects from the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum and the British Museum.

Review of Looking at Prints, Drawings and Watercolours.......2007-08-26
This is an informative glossary containing terms pertinent to works of art on paper but as the author Paul Goldman notes the book only briefly treats photomechanical processes and contemporary trends in printmaking. The illustrations are all drawn from the Getty Museum or the British Museum collections so readers can go directly to the online digital sites at those institutions for more information. This make the book valuable as an introductory text for a course on the History of Prints and Drawings. It is also a "must read" for emerging collectors and for art lovers who desire a deeper appreciation of the complexities of the graphic arts. Used in conjunction with Linda C. Hults, The Print in the Western World (U. of Wisconsin Press) and Ursula Weekes, Techniques of Drawing (Woodstocker Books) it provides a sound overview. Unfortunately the book omits some important terms and slights the history of paper making, but again it is a handy reference and not a definitive one. While the bibliography will point readers to many valuable printed resources, a list of relevant web sites would be a useful addition. The book is printed on quality paper and the binding appears sturdy. The second edition contains basic information on conservation issues. Those seeking more information on prints should consult the website at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (N.Y.) which gives extensive technical information and many digital examples. Lynne N. Reno, Assistant Professor, Edinboro University, Edinboro, Pa.
OK, but hardly complete.......2007-08-04
What's here is good material. It lists a fair range of terms used in art on paper, with many reproductions of art showing the effects of different tools or materials. The book itself if well printed, on heavy paper that shows the sample artworks very clearly. And, as a parting benefit, it offers a helpful bibliography.
It's what's not here that's the problem. A book twice this size might have been adequate for either drawing or watercolor, and a printmaking would have needed a lot more than that by itself. What's here is good, but possibly not enough to justify this book for most collections.

more, and less, than I expected.......2002-01-02
I had hoped this book would incorporate aesthetics with art history, but that is not quite the author's intent. Instead, it is similar to a dictionary, being a 63-page volume of alphabetically arranged technical definitions, from aquatint to wood-engraving. It is also more than a dictionary, having more than 60 examples to illustrate techniques and methods.
This book is neither historical nor biographical in focus, but you will learn a great deal of technical information.

art for youth.......2000-06-19
I checked out this book from the library because, as an adult, I felt I didn't know enough about paintings to appreciate them fully when I visited an art gallery. This book briefly covers a large number of aspects of art including color, perspective, portraits, and landscape. The paintings used as examples are many and varied and they are beautifully reproduced. I learned many things but as I read, I came up with many more questions the book did not answer. However, I am a 36-year-old college graduate. I believe that the book is quite informative for its recommended age group: 9-12. I am getting a copy for my artistic nephew's tenth birthday.

From The Back Cover: .......2006-11-09
Fishing Alaska's streams, lakes, and salt water is often anything but a placid experience. Sometimes anglers are hapless players in a comedy, ducking fly hooks, dodging competitive bears, and diving in to retrieve runaway fishing poles. You might say it looks like the Keystone Kops at times. As sports editor for the Anchorage Daily News, Lew Freedman has heard stories you wouldn't believe. But who says fishermen are truthful? Here's a collection of Lew's favorites: wacky tales from the water's edge.

Book Description
"Hal Niedzviecki is one of the wisest, funniest and most acute cultural critics writing today."-Naomi Klein, author of No Logo
Hal Niedzviecki has a blunt message for the army of tattoo and piercing enthusiasts, bloggers, skateboard warriors, and anyone else walking around with the smug certainty that they are one of a kind: Individuality is the new conformity.
Niedzviecki's meditations touch on everything from designer religions to webcasts, from reality TV to the endless "everybody is a star" platitudes of global pop culture. The result is a smart, witty, and impassioned argument that shatters the you-can-do-anything pop myth and exposes the paradox of individualism.
Hal Niedzviecki is the founder of Broken Pencil magazine and the author of We Want Some Too: Underground Desire and the Reinvention of Mass Culture.
Customer Reviews:
specialness made special.......2007-10-03
This book is an broad look at individuality in 2007. Everything that we hold dear that we think makes us "special" and individual in fact makes us conform to widely accepted norms. The only people who seem to be truly individual in this book, are the ones who aren't even trying, and this somehow makes them truly special. The book is so brilliantly written, and it is indepth, compelling and amusing that I raced through it going from one sadly deluded "special" person to the next. It even gave me an idea for joining "Live Journal", a blog site, so I too could communicate with other like minded indivuals, and thus find my own specialness and individuality, (????) which I didn't expect to do. It can't be all bad eh? If you like reading books that probe and make you think, this is a definate read.
A Big Disappointment.......2007-01-17
Niedzviecki's book touches on an interesting topic, viz. how counter culture has become mainstream culture and how there is nothing left to rebel against in a culture that essentially encourages rebellion. However, the book is preachy, hypocritical and ultimately unoriginal. Niedzviecki basically goes around the U.S. and Canada and looks for examples of people doing, or trying to do, new and creative things - from starting a backyard wrestling league to exploring alternative forms of worship to WTO protests and basically argues from an extremely external, spectator standpoint, that they are neither new nor creative. He throws in a few of his own anachronistic and scarcely relevant personal anecdotes and tosses around a few names of latter-day sophistication (Foucault and Tester) to embellish his argument but really, his debunking originality couldn't be less original - American culture has always been largely centered around the (myth of the) individual, individualism, and individuality. I could go on about how I think he misinterprets Foucault (who, if anything, encouraged individual rebellion), but I will just point out that hardly any of the previous reviews have been positive which should be reason enough for one to avoid buying this massively disappointing book.
Read the book, draw your own conclusions..........2007-01-01
In the spirit of "I'm Special," I would suggest that people take the reviews (positive and negative) with a grain of salt, read the book, and draw your own conclusions. Niedzviecki is simply presenting an insightful, albeit inconvenient, commentary on our society.
Niedzviecki has done a good job distancing from and reporting on our self-centered (North American) culture; that he's Canadian probably gives him the detachment he needs. It's uneven in places, but there are too many brilliant insights to simply dismiss it. For example, in the chapter called "The Search for Home," he discusses the backlash against the "I'm Special" culture in the form of the neo-traditional movement:
"The neo-traditionalists--from downshifter to right-to-lifer--seek an escape from a society that compels loneliness by placing the highest values on individual achievement. Middle-class joiners also seek to be born again into yesterday, stripped of their fears and uncertainties, protected from the ravages and confusions of the shaper-shifting present." (page 157)
"Hello, I'm Special" is an interesting, disturbing. and challenging collection of essays--I highly recommend it.
Imitators of life..........2006-12-09
This book is someone's very personal and narcissistic attempt at going public with how 'done' he is being counterculture, probably because it was a huge effort to keep up in the first place, not because he suddenly spotted some hapless teenager dressed just like him. Of course Hal (is this even his real name, or an imitation of a real person's name) knows this and by throwing in some postermodernist references he has published a regretful, lamenting retro 80's geist peice. That's right! I don't think he's done with being a hipster yet! This is what hipsters do-- criticize hipsters, pretend they're not anymore, leave Brooklyn for the boonies with all the other hipsters who went folk. If it weren't for hipsters criticizing hipsters, the masses would never know they exist. I'm telling you, the only person who can write this bombast then shed skins this way in the first place is the ultra-free overeducated, undercommitted white middle class man. People pressed by financial problems, institutionalized racism, sexism, and neo-colonialism don't need to pretend to be outsiders. For us, the more rebels, the better-- until we turn this mutha upside down. And some of us will be wearing punk-inspired Target pants because we work in a Target-contracted factory. He can stop being special now, I know he's tired. The rest of us knew we'd never "Be Somebody" long before we dropped out of public school. Anyway, this book is probably just a secret message to a lover who snubbed him. It will help him form his next psuedo-self, which is a pretend-genuine self. I think I'd like him better if he remained pretentious.
Ah, infotainment..........2006-10-22
I love infotainment reads, and this book is a good example of C+ quality in this genre. As I see it, this book sets out to characterize individuality as a value central to modern life, and does a great job of providing the reader of evidence of this again, and again, and again. By the last third of the book, it became a chore to hear the same argument rehashed with little elaboration.
The greatest downside to this book was that Niedzviecki implies throughout that valuing individuality as highly as he believes contemporary culture does is a bad thing, but absolutely fails to convince the reader on this point. Individuals interviewed by the author offer allusions to their "feeling lonely/disconnected/etc.," and this is the sum total of the evidence that the author is willing to supply to prove the negative effects of contemporary trends.
I think that the most effective thing that this book could do to improve itself is bring in empirical evidence and theory from psychology. A great wealth of discussion about the effects of media consumption on behavior, imitation, reward and punishment, etc. exist in psychology, and tying these lines of thought into "Hello, I'm Special" would have made this book better. The book, as it is, is pure journalism pretending to be cultural theory. (Here it is an ideal read if you like to say "hey, I could write this malarkey!" to yourself and close friends).
Up until the last forty or so pages, I was amused and getting a little bored. At about this point in the book, Niedzviecki decides that going without the conveniences of our cushy modern lives and actually "suffering" like real bushmen is the remedy to the problem of modern existence! So, to re-cap the author's argument: exposure to media leads to imitation, therefore we should all feel guilty for having running water. I can only assume that this derailed logic has its roots in the author's personal problems (e.g. I hate my life, therefore I want to hurt myself). Wow, a little juvenile and embarrassing for our cultural theorist, but I kept reainding. Right after giving Niedzviecki the benefit of the doubt big time, he then hits me with a combination condemnation/ laudatory hailing of "protesters" and "activists." I was like what is going on here? This dude failed to fully develop his pretty good initial argument/topic, so then just totally abandons it to discuss some irrelevant personal fascination of some other topic. The book, as compelling and fun to read as it was for the first 100 pages, became unreadable and I put it down with about 20 pages left to go.
Verdict: stoner rant.

This is the best mental book on golf I have ever read. Blanchard known for The One Minute Manager and other best selling management books is a golf fanatic and founded the Golf University, located at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego, based on these concepts.
