Published on the occasion of the van Gogh exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., this fun-filled pop-up book opens into a four-room circular house showing the artist's home as he painted it, his friends as he portrayed them, and the world outside as he observed it. Van Gogh's House is full of surprises and interchangeable elements: the views from the windows are classic van Gogh scenes, such as Harvest Landscape and Starry Night, and on the walls hang portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. Every last detail is in place, from Vincent's pipe and tobacco, to his clogs under the table, to his unfinished canvas propped on an easel. Putting everything into historical context, the accompanying small book takes a learned and enjoyable look at van Gogh's life and the people, places, and paintings in it.

Apart from making a pilgrimage to one of Wright's landmarks, this innovative book offers the ultimate Frank Lloyd Wright experience! Explore Wright's world in 3-D with five pop-ups that show his greatest masterpieces. Each pop-up focuses on a particular work and is accompanied by a detailed history of its planning, design, and current state. Thoughtful text uncovers the social, economic, and cultural influences that shaped Wright's art, while extensive photographs, plans, and drawings illustrate how each project evolved. Visit the iconic and inspirational Fallingwater, Wright's residential masterpiece, and see how the building epitomizes his theme of harmony with nature. Sitting atop a waterfall, the house appears to grow organically from the site, as if it has always been there. You'll be impressed with the remarkably modern Robie House, regarded as one of the most significant examples of 20th-century architecture. Designed in the Prairie style, the home follows Wright's concept that "the horizontal line is the line of domesticity."

Frank Lloyd Wright is still profoundly influential and continues to generate interest and excitement among a wide audience.

'The Great Wave' is a colour woodblock print designed by Japanese artist Hokusai in around 1830. The print, of which numerous multiples were made, shows a monster of a wave rearing up and about to come crashing down on three fishing boats and their crews. One of a monumental series known as 'Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji', Hokusai's Great Wave - with the graceful snow-clad Mount Fuji on the horizon, unperturbed but wittily dwarfed by the towering strength of the wave that threatens to engulf the struggling boats - has become an iconic image of the power of nature and the relative smallness of man. One of the most famous pieces of Japanese art, this extraordinary artwork has had a huge impact worldwide and has served as a source of inspiration to artists, both past and present. This beautifully illustrated book explores the meaning behind Hokusai's Great Wave, in the context of the Mount Fuji series and Japanese art as a whole. Taking an intimate look at the Wave's artistic and historical significance and its influence on popular culture, this concise introduction explains why Hokusai's modern masterpiece had such an impact after its creation in 1830 and why it continues to fascinate, inspire and challenge today.
