Heroes, Monsters and Other Worlds from Russian Mythology.
by Warner, Elizabeth & Alexander Koshkin.
Published by Schocken Books., New York., 1985. 1st printing, 1st edition.
Illustrated in black, white and color by Alexander Koshkin. Important reference work.
A beautifully illustrated anthology of stories and legends of the Russian people includes forty-three tales of gods and heroes, dragons and monsters, witches and wizards, giants and shape-changers, along with information on the sources of Russian folklore.
An anthology of Russian mythology chronicles the legends and folklore of diverse regions of Russia, including epic tales of ancient gods and heroes, dragons and monsters, wonderful and mysterious adventures, and other imaginative sagas From School Library Journal Grade 6 Up Russian folklore receives the same somewhat sensationalized treatment as other books in this series. The fantastic elements found in Russian folklore, demons, wizards, and wondrous creatures have been emphasized over the equally prominent folk elements. Yet the tales are well-researched, based upon the original Russian story collections (Afanas'ev and Potebnya, among others) and are written in a readable style. Well-known characters such as Baba...

Jiang is the founder of the Yunnan School of Painting, one of the most important contemporary movements of abstract art in China.

Jiang attended the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. He studied with the renowned Chinese artist, Huang Yong-Yu. During the 1960s and early 1970s, Jiang was assigned to produce propaganda posters during Mao’s Cultural Revolution. At night Jiang secretly worked on his own style.
He works primarily in watercolor and serigraphy and his works have been actively collected worldwide since the early 1980s. From 1976 to 1983, Jiang served on the board of directors for the Yunnan branch of the Chinese National Art Association. He was also a member of the Chinese Woodblock...

Kishin Shinoyama, John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Double Fantasy. Signed Limited Ed book
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Partners in life and art.
Intimate portraits of John and Yoko.
Renowned for his sensual, provocative images, Kishin Shinoyama is one of Japan’s most controversial and acclaimed artists, at once hailed by critics and charged for public indecency. Photographing everything from antiques to porn stars, Shinoyama is particularly recognized for his work with pop icons and celebrities, and the rare, private moments he captures with very public personalities. Through his lens, world-famous faces often reveal an unexpected openness and vulnerability.
This capacity for ease and intimacy is perhaps most poignantly expressed in his beautiful series of photographs of Yoko Ono and John Lennon, shot at Ono’s request for the cover and promotion of the couple’s celebrated 1980 album, Double Fantasy...

Ikat, Silks of Central Asia, the Guido Goldman Collection, 1997
Located in San Francisco, CA
Abr-bandi, the central asian name for the ikat technique, derives from the
Persian word abr which means "cloud". The ikat style is not limited to Central
Asia, but nowhere have the ikat designs known as abr, or the technique itself
proved so enduring or so gloriously inventive as in the ancient centers of
Uzbek and Tadjik handicrafts- Bukhara, Samrkand and the towns of the
Ferghana Valley.
The craftsmanship of the abr masters, the abr bandchi, was their patrimony;
their secrets and their repertoire of designs were handed down through the
generations. Yet this art form has always been responsive to change and
receptive to new weaving methods created to simplify the process without
sacrifice of artistry.
In the nineteenth century abr designs were used to decorate fabrics made into
winter and summer...
