Uncle Sam. The Gibson Girl. Some of America's most memorable images made their debuts on the covers of magazines. During the Golden Age of the American magazine cover, the corner newsstand was a veritable gallery for some of the country's leading illustrators, artists, and cartoonists. This volume showcases over 200 remarkable covers from publications as diverse as Saturday Evening Post, Harper's Bazaar, Fortune, Good Housekeeping, and Vanity Fair. 280 color illustrations.
How artists' magazines, in all their ephemerality, materiality, and temporary intensity, challenged mainstream art criticism and the gallery system.
The Tiger's Eye, a widely read magazine of art and literature, was published in nine quarterly issues from 1947 to 1949 by writer Ruth Stephan and painter John Stephan. It took its name from the poem by William Blake. The Tiger's Eye featured European and American Surrealists, members of the Latin American avant garde, and young American painters soon to become known as Abstract Expressionists. The artists, among them Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Adolph Gottlieb, Stanley William Hayter, André Masson, Pablo Picasso, Mark Rothko, Anne Ryan, Kay Sage, Kurt Seligmann, Rufino Tamayo, and Mark Tobey, as well as art editor and co-publisher John Stephan himself, range across the cultural forefront of the post-war period. This handsome book presents numerous examples of the art, writings, and pages of the magazine, using it as a lens through which to view the art world during these richly creative years when its center was shifting from Paris to New York. Also included is an essay tracing the history of the magazine, along with an annotated index of its contributors. Lavishly produced as an homage to the format, striking design, and structural devices of The Tiger's Eye, the resultant volume will not only contribute to our understanding of postwar art history but will itself illuminate every aspect of this complex publication.

Celebrating the DIY spirit, CRAFT's goal is to unite, inspire, inform and entertain a growing community of highly imaginative people who are transforming traditional art and crafts with unconventional, unexpected and even renegade techniques, materials and tools; resourceful spirits who undertake amazing crafting projects in their homes and communities. Volume 01, the premier issue, features 23 projects with a twist! Make a programmable LED shirt, turn dud shoes into great knitted boots, felt an iPod cocoon, embroider a skateboard, and much more.
"The exhibition is organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington"--Colophon.
"This exhilarating and comprehensive collection of more than 330 classic drawings represents almost a century of the work of American cartoonists and dramatically illustrates the diversity and richness of this popular art form. From the 1890s and the work of Art Young and Thomas Nast to such contemporary artists as Booth and Koren, the book offers a wonderful sampling of the drawings of Charles Addams, Peter Arno, John Held Jr., James Thurber, Gluyas Williams, Richard Taylor, Barbara Shermund, Virgil Partch, Sam Cobean, Dorothy McKay, Boris Drucker, Eldon Dedini, Gahan Wilson, and many more. This is a book to savor, to come back to over and over again." - Lower cover
