Most Helpful Customer Reviews

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous aerial photography, August 26, 2001 This review is from: Air to Air Volume II (Hardcover) "Air to Air" contains some of the most beautiful air-to-air photography I have seen. This book is quite different from Geza Szurovy's "Executive Jets", recommended by another reviewer below. To compare the two is to compare apples and oranges. "Executive Jets" is about the airplanes as airplanes. The descriptions are technical and factual, and the photos are mostly meant to show features of the planes. There are a handful of interestingly composed photos, but that's not what this book is for. "Air to Air" is much more about the airplanes as pieces of art, and the photography certainly speaks to that. You still learn something about the airplanes, but the text serves more to personify than to explain the airplanes. This is a great coffee table book. Don't expect to take this book to the local air field for identifying aircraft, because that is not the purpose of this book. As for the quality, I find it outstanding. The quality of the print is superior, and the book is itself is nearly a piece of art. And as for the expense, to get a collection of interesting and unusual photography like this must have been massively expensive. In this book you see only a handful of the dozens or hundreds of photos of each plane that Bowen surely shot to get the effects he wanted. Flight time is costly! I highly recommend this book to people who can appreciate aircraft as artwork and who enjoy beautiful photographic composition.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Air to Air, May 16, 2000 What a collection of aviation photography, some of the most breath taking shots I have ever seen, sure to be a collector's book. The book feature a wonderful collection of aircraft photo Begain with Challenger Jet, and finish with Agusta helicopters. Mostly executive jets, with some light aircrafts and helicopters.

11 of 15 people found the following review helpful: 3.0 out of 5 stars Good but overpriced, July 24, 2000 If you like Paul Bowen pictures, buy "Executive Jets" by Geza Szurovy, not this one. That book only costs about fourteen dollars and it's way better printed and layed out. (Believe it or not.) Why is it that when I look at the pictures in this book in artifical lighting they look better than they do in full sunlight? I can't quite figure this out. It's an interesting question, because I had to evaluate it in a bookstore, not where I peruse many photo-folios, in full sunlight. Despite it's price, the quality of reproduction is not there. It makes me a little uneasy to think that I didn't quite get what I thought I was getting.

The photos in this collection are not the best work of Bowen, to judge from the Szrovy book, which concentrates only on turbine-powered aircraft.

Who picked the shots? They're bland and predictable, except for one picture of a Lear climbing nearly vertically into the sky.

There are few full-bleed pictures, so why is this book so expensive?

Modern Art - 2 Vol. (25) (Hardcover) newly tagged "art"

The blow-by-blow account of the works that matter most in Modern art

The story of modern art begins roughly 150 years ago, when painters left their studios to try and catch nature and the quickly changing light out in plain air, only to find that they did not paint more realistically, instead they were pushed toward the fractured colors and fleeting compositions we’ve come to associate with the term impressionism. Once standard academy practice had been overcome, there was no holding back, and in a constant desire to pursue new roads, one style supplanted the next, always bringing different innovations: after impressionism, there followed symbolism, expressionism, futurism, surrealism, dada, abstract art, minimal, and pop. Even in post-modernism and the contemporary works of Koons, Kelley, or Wool, this modernist urge to make something new is still very much alive.

This publication concentrates on individual works, each piece breaking some amount of new ground, and with 300 featured pieces by as many artists, this means an average of two game changers for every year. Each work is accompanied by a text that places it within the larger narrative, introducing the artist and outlining the agenda. Introductions to all the important art movements give the reader a more thorough grounding in the historical developments, but most of all, it is the year-by-year succession of groundbreaking works, both classics and surprising rediscoveries, that tells the story of an art that always thrived on innovation.
