Dali: the name evokes images from melting clocks to surreal landscapes. Outrageous and enigmatic, Dali remains one of the twentieth century's most popular artists. This book presents the complete paintings of the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, which houses the most comprehensive collection of Dali's art in the world. It provides a unique overview of Dali's career from his student days to his interactions with Garcia Lorca, Bunuel, and the French Surrealist movement, his postwar fascination with history, science, and mysticism, and finally, his later, more cryptic works. Robert S. Lubar provides an introduction and enlightening commentary for each of the paintings, contributing valuable new scholarship. Also included are a chronology and bibliography, making Dali: The Salvador Dali Museum Collection both a sumptuous volume of fine color reproductions of the master's paintings and a significant addition to the study of Dali.

The Shakers were nineteenth-century America's largest and best-known communal utopian society. By 1840, nearly 6,000 celibate Brothers and Sisters lived and worked in 18 communities from Maine to Kentucky. The Shakers were famous for their unusual way of life, for the excellence and simplicity of their work, and for the dance worship that gave them their name." "Author June Sprigg has lived and worked with the Shakers since 1972, and her text discusses their origins and beliefs, their work and daily life. More than 200 full-color photographs, taken especially for this book by Michael Freeman, richly illustrate their architecture, furniture, crafts, and inventions. The photographs were shot - almost entirely with available light - in the villages and museums in New England, New York, and Kentucky.
