Описание: This volume celebrates the warmth and easy elegance of traditional Southern architecture and interior design, featuring houses of unpretentious and old-fashioned grace that showcase the talents of the South s finest design professionals. Comfort and hospitality are words that express the spirit of simple Southern style. Featured in tantalizing photographs is a discerning selection of residences decorated by Bobby McAlpine, Ken Tate, Ryan Gainey, Jackye Lanham, Amelia Handegan, and others. Located in old Southern cities such as Atlanta, Charleston, Savannah, and New Orleans, as well as seaside and mountain retreats, these intimate dwellings are steeped in architectural tradition. The residences profiled illustrate fresh design interpretations of romantic Southern style, such as a New Orleans double-shotgun with a modern all-white palette, a nineteenth-century summer cottage with updated coastal decor, and a Louisiana plantation house with handsome Creole antiques. Two sections, "Pure and Simple" and "Simply Elegant," explore the varied ways that Southerners express their love of comfort and gracious living. Dating from the eighteenth century to the present, the houses featured exemplify historic styles that evolved in response to their natural settings, inviting families to live in harmony with their surroundings. Integrating time-honored lessons of the past, these cozy dwellings also incorporate contemporary design sensibilities, making them especially appealing for today s lifestyle.

Описание: When Volkswagen launched the Golf GTI, over thirty years ago, it could hardly have known the impact its compact and sporty model would have on the car-buying public. Through an uncertain birth to its class-topping iconic status of today, rarely does a new model of car make a whole new market segment for itself but the Golf was the original hot hatch, a car that others would copy but seldom equal.

Описание: This new study presents striking parallels in both ethnic (non-European) and folk (European) traditional costumes and ornaments made with silver and glass. African ornaments include Zulu beads, Maghreb necklaces, the Obas crown, and Massai headpieces. European ornaments extend from the Baltic to the Alps and from Russia, Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. Asian jewelry comes from the Fertile Crescent, the Silk Route, and the foothills of the Himalaya. Each example exquisitely displays a common sense of beauty among many distant peoples.

Описание: The first volume in Prestel’s exciting new World Art series presents outstanding masterpieces of African art. The selection of works represents the aesthetic achievements of numerous cultures throughout the continent of Africa. Each piece is presented on a double- page spread with high- quality reproductions and illuminating commentary. The art of Africa displays an astonishing variety of styles, techniques, and materials. Whether fashioned in gold, bronze, terracotta, or iron, carved in wood or woven in silk, the masterpieces presented in this volume are a testiment to consummate technical mastery. The volume reflects the enormous diversity of African art from culture to culture. Included here are works by the Fang, Congo, and Cuba peoples of Central Africa, Ethiopian shields, burial posts of Eastern Africa, bead works of Southern Africa, items of equipment carried by Nomadic peoples such as the Massai, rock paintings of the San, objects created by the peoples at the southern edge of the Sahara, such as the Tellem and Dogon, as well as works produced by the Northern cultures of the Tuareg and the Berbers. Egyption art will be treated in a separate volume of the series. The volume ’s historical coverage is equally extensive. Nigerian art, for example, is shown from its earliest highpoints with the Nok culture (6th century BCE) through Iife and the art of the Kingdom of Benin right up to the present day Yoruba.

Описание: The art of southern and eastern Africa, unlike the better-known traditions of central and western Africa, is often overlooked. The complex history of the region, marked by migrations rather than settled kingdoms, and the very nature of the objects produced, seen as craft artefacts by western eyes, are the main reasons for this relative obscurity. The objects illustrated and catalogued in the book include rare figural sculptures, jewellery, regalia, prestige staffs carved with ornamental heads and decorations, walking/fighting sticks, headrests, snuff containers and the occasional ornamental but useful adornments which double as combs and snuff spoons. The source of distinctiveness for the artefacts of the southern African region lies in the pastoral and specifically nomadic nature of the cattle culture shared by the majority of the peoples in the region. The functional beauty of the objects and their small size are linked to the necessary ease to take them along as the need to move arose.
