During his career as one of America's most sought-after
illustrators, Andrew Loomis (1889-1959) taught at the American
Academy of Art in Chicago, and in 1939 he codified his lessons in
his first manual, "Fun with a Pencil." Four years later it had
already been through six printings, and he followed up over the
next two decades with a series of even more successful how-to books
that remain the gold standard for artists to this day.
"Creative Illustration" is considered Loomis's magnum opus, which
was aimed primarily at the professional-level illustrator. Divided
into seven sections: Line, Tone, Color, Telling the Story, Creating
Ideas, Fields of Illustration, and Experimenting and Studies, this
book is filled with instructions, tips, insider experiences, and
incredible illustrations.

"Did Rudolf Steiner dream these things? Did he dream them as they
once occurred, at the beginning of all time? They are, for sure,
far more astonishing than the demiurges and serpents and bulls
found in other cosmogonies.' -- Jorge Luis BorgesRudolf Steiner
recorded his view of the world in numerous books. He also gave more
than 5,000 lectures, in which he explained his ideas, using only
minimal notes. When describing especially difficult subjects,
Steiner frequently resorted to illustrating what he was saying with
colored chalk on a large blackboard. After his earlier lectures,
the drawings were erased and irretrievably lost. After the autumn
of 1919, however, thick black paper was used to cover the
blackboards so that the drawings could be rolled up and saved.The
Trustees of Rudolf Steiner's Estate in Dornach, Switzerland,
possess more than a thousand such drawings. A selection of these
drawings was first shown to the general public in 1992, and since
then, exhibitions in Europe, America, and Japan have generated much
interest in Steiner's works.
