I just borrowed it from the library. I own that book, so yeah, sure. Duz wifey know it has nude-type nudes in it? Since we're both "progressive-minded" individuals she doesn't mind, though I am discreet with things like this. Besides, this stuff is "art."    Posted:   Jul 16, 2016 - 5:24 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Checking this one out of the inter-library soon: https://www.amazon.com/Lifestyle-Illustration-1950s-Carlton-Books/dp/1847960456 Ever have a look at those HUGE Taschen ads books? There was a volume for each decade from the '20 to the '70s, I believe. As for those who steer clear of art books--meaning 99% of all FSMers--I feel the same way about film score cds. It's so much cheaper to get the dvd instead of forking over that extra dough just to line the pockets of those wicked musicians unions. Oh, lordy, after 88 pages of drawings of perky housewives, I returned this to the library without finishing it.    Posted:   Jul 16, 2016 - 5:25 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pin-up-Modest-History-Mark-Gabor/dp/0330237616?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0 Does this count?

Since we're both "progressive-minded" individuals she doesn't mind, though I am discreet with things like this. Besides, this stuff is "art." "Art" indeed. My first perusal shows that he took this seriously, and included some real history. I'm pleased, and glad to see he gave a few pages over to beefcake, too.    Posted:   Jul 18, 2016 - 4:40 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) I bought that pin-ups book circa 1999 at the markdown/discount section of my local Barnes & Noble for el cheapo, which was quite a contrast to the big $$$ price tag my local comic book shop had for the thing.    Posted:   Aug 16, 2016 - 7:50 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pin-up-Modest-History-Mark-Gabor/dp/0330237616?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0 Does this count?

My first perusal shows that he took this seriously, and included some real history. I'm pleased, and glad to see he gave a few pages over to beefcake, too. I found the early history stuff fascinating. I found the stuff from the sixties BOOOORING! (It all just looked like.... well.... naked people.) I did think the two golfers on page 118 (or was it 188?) made an attractive pair..... er.... foursome... er... pair.    Posted:   Aug 16, 2016 - 9:06 PM     By:   The Wanderer   (Member) I thought I'd replied in this thread already. A while back I got excellent Taschen books on Bruegel and Francis Bacon. They eerie very informative and well illustrated. I really like them.    Posted:   Aug 17, 2016 - 4:06 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Speaking of Taschen, they're republishing the entirety of R. Crumb's sketchbook series, which were previously a mega-expensive slipcase deal. Now, they begin at the beginning. I do hope they get to his more recent (the last twenty-five years or so) sketchbook volumes. Robert Crumb: Sketchbook, Vol. 1, June 1964 - Sept. 1968 www.amzn.com/3836540576    Posted:   Aug 17, 2016 - 6:47 PM     By:   The Wanderer   (Member) Cool I'll check them out when they turn up.    Posted:   Aug 18, 2016 - 11:41 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) I thought I'd replied in this thread already. A while back I got excellent Taschen books on Bruegel and Francis Bacon. They eerie very informative and well illustrated. I really like them. As possibly mentioned earlier in this thread most fine, I do hope the likes of Taschen or some other fine publishing outfit would get going on producing much-needed larger-scale books on the likes of Modigliani, Juan Gris, and Jules Pascin. They've done smaller efforts but nothing grandiose as yet.    Posted:   Nov 26, 2016 - 5:19 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Another one I own: the art of Chindogu (Japanese Un-useless Inventions) http://www.worldofbooks.com/technology/bumper-book-of-unuseless-japanese-inventions-by-kenji-kawakami.html Weirdly, some of the gag inventions have come to pass (the camera arm for selfies).    Posted:   Dec 30, 2016 - 5:06 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Here's one I just bought myself for Xmas, in the used book store. http://www.cartouchepress.com/artbooks/witchinghour/ Pictures of his work: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Art-of-Larry-MacDougall/188673064483664    Posted:   Dec 30, 2016 - 9:37 PM     By:   joan hue   (Member) David, I am sorry that I can't add to Art Books, but I want to chime in to say, "Where in the heck is Jim Phelps?" I enjoyed his posts,and I want him back. Sorry to highjack this topic, but does anyone know where our Phelpsie Buddy had gone?    Posted:   Jan 12, 2017 - 4:06 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) I would say this thread is ABANDONED    Posted:   Jan 13, 2017 - 6:34 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) David, I am sorry that I can't add to Art Books, but I want to chime in to say, "Where in the heck is Jim Phelps?" I enjoyed his posts,and I want him back. Sorry to highjack this topic, but does anyone know where our Phelpsie Buddy had gone? Thank you for your interest, [Note to typesetter: Place "Joan Hue" Here]. It's comforting to know some here actually give me any thought. It is appreciated. As for art books, I have a couple in my sights, but I still await the publication of decent retrospectives by the likes of Modigliani, Juan Gris, and Robert Delaunay. Until that time, perhaps I'll bump Neotrinity's "What are Your Favorite Paintings?" thread, if only to momentarily displace those idiotic "Star War" and "Star Track" topics.    Posted:   Jan 13, 2017 - 12:01 PM     By:   Sean Nethery   (Member) Ah Jim, just the opening I need to crow about my art book Christmas gift - the two volume collection of everything Ralph Mcquarrie produced for the Star Wars series.    Posted:   Jan 13, 2017 - 12:04 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) As much as I'm sick of Star Wars, I will never ever say or write a negative word about Ralph McQuarrie. He is one of the all-time greats.    Posted:   Jan 13, 2017 - 12:06 PM     By:   Sean Nethery   (Member) PS Since I've never posted here, I'll just say that my favorites in my family's art-book colllection include books on Magritte (maybe my single favorite fine artist), Max Ernst, Dorothea Tanning, Giorgio Morandi, and a wonderful catalogue of Goya's drawings from an exhibit that had traveled to the University of Utah in the mid 1990's. Morandi is kind of also my favorite, even though all he did were very similar tableaux of bottles and so on in his own lifelong home. Mesmerizing. Here's a typical example. (It's kind of funny, I had to try posting a couple of images before one worked, but doesn't much matter, because they are all typical examples. )    Posted:   Jan 13, 2017 - 12:17 PM     By:   Sean Nethery   (Member) As much as I'm sick of Star Wars, I will never ever say or write a negative word about Ralph McQuarrie. He is one of the all-time greats. I just found that out by going back and reading the first few posts of this thread. In case of any interest, there is also a reprint of a now fabulously expensive 400-page out-of-print retrospective of his non-Star Wars (or maybe it's mostly non-Star Wars) work, for the slim-by-comparison price of $75. The Art of Ralph McQuarrie - Archives http://dreamsandvisionspress.com/artofralphmcquarriearchives.aspx    Posted:   Jan 13, 2017 - 12:22 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Nine-year-old me first saw McQuarrie's work via the Topps Empire Strikes Back trading cards. My friends and I were mesmerized by those paintings, especially when they differed from what ended up in the films. I beleve there's a thread devoted to McQuarrie's work. If there isn't, someone should start one.    Posted:   Jan 13, 2017 - 12:28 PM     By:   Sean Nethery   (Member) Ooh, I can't resist sharing my first taste of McQuarrie. I remember two, when I was 15 and 16. The pre-release paperback of the Star Wars novelization, which I saw (but didn't buy!) in a book store months before release: And the cover of the first "expanded universe" Star Wars novel, Splinter of the Mind's Eye. I promise not to post any more McQuarrie until someone resurrects or creates a thread for the purpose!     Non-Film Score Discussion: Confessions of an Art Book Junkie    << < 3 4 5 6 7  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
