    <![CDATA[The Surrealist movement that arose in Europe in the early 1900s used playful procedures and systematic stratagems to create provocative works and challenge the conventions of art, literature, and society. They conducted their experiments through art and polemic, manifesto and demonstration, love and politics. But it was above all through game-playing that they sought to subvert academic modes of inquiry and undermine the complacent certainties of the bourgeoisie.  Surrealist games is a delightful compendium that allows the reader to enjoy firsthand the methodologies of the Surreal, with their amazing swings between the verbal and the visual, the beautiful and the grotesque. It is also a box of games to play for fun: poetic, imaginative, revelatory, full of possibilities for unlocking the door to the unconscious and releasing the poetry of collective creativity. The boxed set contains:  A 168-page sewn, illustrated hardcover book packed with outrageous language games, alternative card games, &quot;Dream Lotto,&quot; and automatic techniques for making poems, stories, collages, photomontages, and candle-smoke drawings. The illustrations are by such artists as Max Ernst, Hans Arp, and Tristan Tzara  A fold-out game board for the &quot;Goose Game,&quot; designed by André Breton, Yves Tanguy, and others  A <em>Little Surrealist Dictionary </em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Delightfully unpredictable, ABZ is a wonderbook of typography, graphics, and symbols. Julian Rothenstein (creator of our Gift division s popular Redstone line of cards and calendars) turns his idiosyncratic eye towards eccentric alphabets, emblems, and logos discovered in avant-garde modernist publications and other curious sources. Hundreds of examples of graphic ephemera sit side-by-side in inimitable Redstone fashion, mixing peculiar charm with useful reference in one stunning package. Special features include an amazing alphabet, circa 1926, created from photographs of a dancing woman; original test-types for opticians charts; pages from sign artists manuals; and coolly elegant designs from fin de si cle French, German, Italian, and Czech journals. Nearly all of this rare and beautiful material is reproduced here for the first time since its original publication. An art book like no other, ABZ is a collection of typographic oddities taken to the next level of appreciation.]]>

    <![CDATA[Following the huge success of Abrams'  books by artist Andy  Goldsworthy comes this striking volume on six important contemporary artists who work  in the landscape and make use of the materials and processes of nature. While the artists  showcased&#151;herman de vries, Chris Drury, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Nikolaus Lang, Richard  Long, and Giuseppe Pennone&#151;do not belong to a particular school, they are united by  their empathy for the natural world and their decision to work outside the urban contexts  of much modernist art.  Profiles of each artist, based on specially commissioned interviews, and an essay placing  their art in both historical and contemporary contexts accompany high-quality color  reproductions of significant and beautiful works. Here is a book with great appeal not  only for art lovers but for anyone who has deep feeling for the natural world.  ]]>

    <![CDATA[Abstract art in its many forms has been a dominant mode in the visual arts for the better part of a century. Popular histories usually trace &quot;abstraction&quot; as a succession of style or &quot;isms,&quot; each set within it particular art-historical context, assuming a general familiarity with this kind of critical narrative. The book addresses itself to the interested non-specialist who frequents galleries and reads art books, but who often feels mystified when confronted by abstract work. Abstract art by its nature demands an imaginative response, a personal constructon of meaning.    Mel Gooding offers readings of specific paintings and sculptures--by artists such as Kandinsky, Mondrian, Gabo and Polloc--treating them as exemplary of particular tendencies within the overlapping histories of abstraction. The book defines distinctions between types of abstract art that may seem similar and discoveries underlying correspondences between those that may seem different, enabling the reader to identify links between abstract works across traditional art-historical periods.]]>
