A mother... An artist... A publisher of human emotion... The art of M. Zapp (Marilyn Zapp) has been seen internationally acclaimed on prints and greeting cards. For the first time together, an autobiographical anthology of 40 FULL-COLOR art prints by "M. Zapp," expressing her love and experience as a mother. This current anthology collection of her art work is representative of the first project of this genre, which she completed as a mother, producing a series of over three dozen different original art prints, which sold out the first run of 1500 copies each in less than a year. This specific cycle of material she calls -- "The Family Series" -- reflecting a unifying theme expressing the joy and love of family life and raising children amazingly illustrated in her own famously unique style. She explains: "After my first born, Mark, was born, I created the first piece for The Family Series, 'Mother's Love', in my forties, I had three children a year apart. My time was now occupied marveling, inspired and caring. I had no relatives to share my beautiful children or my strong feelings and emotions of being a parent, so the artist within me shared them with you. I was a mother, an artist, and the publisher of the feelings I needed to share. These art pieces also served as a biography of my life and my love as a mother - the feelings of joy, anxieties and emotions. So, I became a publisher of the feelings I needed to share and over the years many mothers, and even fathers, have understood my work." "For the first time in a collection together, many of these prints are still owned by numerous people worldwide who have identified and collected my work. My son, Mark, modeled for 'Jesus and the Lamb' and then cut his hair and shaved so that he would not be recognized as the model. My daughter, Lea, poised as the Virgin Mary for me. This book includes some, but not all, of the work I have done on this quest, that ended with my models and the youngest daughter, Erika's, teen experiences."

Gaze, Intentionality, and Manipulation Battling for the National Icon The Filming of a Memory Melancholia for Marti Afterthoughts: Resisting Cuban Melancholia

In the latter part of the 1800's, on the island of Nantucket, Josiah Freeman, best known for his stereopticon landscapes, also produced a magnificent body of studio portraits. His photographs are simultaneously serious and playful, and give us a portal through which we can appreciate the diversity of the community and its life through clothing, postures, and physiognomy. Seen all together, Freeman's work gives us a strong insight into the common life of the island during his era. This book was created by Walter and Marilyn Rabetz. Walter is a well known contemporary photographer who happened upon a treasure trove of Freeman's glass negatives that were being discarded. Realizing their historic and artistic value, he and his wife, Marilyn, have curated these images into this elegant compilation.

With Editorial Revision By Sara E. H. Lockwood.

A study and celebration of the rich diversity of style and forms in paintings of the human figure

From the very beginnings of human existence, artists have made images of people, a continually evolving practice. This book focuses on close and perceptive visual analysis of specific pictures to place the idea of looking at painting at the very center of the process of making paintings. Works are considered in relation to their artistic and social context, and the book includes insightful comparisons between pictures from diverse cultures and periods. It compares the relationships between looking and making; explores the interactions between mark, touch, and form; explains color relationships and perceptual effects; and discusses the potential for paintings to express a wide range of emotion, belief, and experience. Extensive drawings and paintings complement the discussion.

Newton's collection of portraits from the worlds of film, fashion, politics, and culture can be considered a pantheon of VIPs. But his work is a lot more besides. From his portraits, one can see that he would have most liked to be a Roman paparazzo--as he once admitted. Anyone who had a portrait made by him knew what the result would by, and by the 1980s there were absolutely no 'beautiful people' in this world who did not want to be photographed by him! In front of his camera, both men and women peeled off their covers--literally as well as figuratively. His brilliant staged creations celebrate the attractiveness and prominence of his models as well as their vanity and imperfections. Newton's top-quality work for major fashion journals and elitist art magazines is likewise first-class erotic art. This collection was first published by us in 1985.
