"A tribute to the artists and the designers―and a touch of nostalgia."― The Guardian The celebration of the art of looking good has always demanded talent, vision, and style, and the artists recruited to fill the pages of Vogue since 1909―when it was taken over by Condé Nast― have possessed these qualities in abundance. Their brilliant drawings chronicle not only fashion but also, with wit and delicacy, the whole comedy of manners that is the international social round.William Packer, painter, writer, and art critic, collected the best drawings from over seventy years of Vogue for this classic volume,which features work by hundreds of artists, including Edouard Benito, René Bouché, Salvador Dalí, Georges Lepape, Harriet Meserole, Douglas Pollard, and John Ward. 90 color and 211 black-and-white illustrations

The story of one of the century's great sculptors concentrates on Moore's own reflections and memories, as well as on those of his friends and colleagues, and discusses his victory over the public outrage that plagued his early work

We all have places we are attached to. Some of us can?t get to theirs. When I have been away, or something has happened, or every day, I go for my usual walk. I see what changes have taken place. I want to feel safe; I want to belong. I call it ?the beating of the bounds?." (Tessa Newcomb)00In her latest book, 'Tessa Newcomb', Tessa has collated observations of ten places of particular importance to her. From the Waveney Valley and the East Anglian Fens, through to her personal homelife, allotment and local farmer?s markets, her works are accompanied by a lively and personal narrative, in which Tessa considers what each place means to her.00"As I look at the roadside verges I can feel as my mother [Mary Newcomb] felt when she walked similar roads ? visiting the brave yellow horned poppies which quiver on our bleak beaches which to me are places that offer themselves without expecting anything back ? All happen to be in East Anglia which is where I belong."
